The Expansion You're Seeking Might Be Hidden in the Emotion You're Avoiding

Big lives contain big experiences. In this episode, I break down the role our emotions play in expansion – including how the emotions we're most tempted to avoid (grief, anger, fear, disappointment, shame) are actually the greatest opportunities to expand our capacity. I share ways to identify which emotions you're organizing your life around NOT feeling, what avoiding your emotions secretly costs you, and how to handle the intensity that comes with feeling deeper and dreaming bigger. Most of all, you'll learn simple practices to microdose feeling your emotions without getting overwhelmed… So that when life gets bigger, you have all the evidence you need to run towards it.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What role do emotions play in expansion? 04:00 Why expansion might be hidden in the emotions we avoid. 09:50 Which emotions are you organizing your life around NOT feeling? 12:30 How to transform your emotions into an opportunity to expand your capacity. 14:45 What is avoiding your emotions actually costing you? 19:30 Practices to work with the energy of your emotions instead of avoiding them. 24:35 How to handle the intensity of having a bigger life.   RESOURCES + LINKS Save the date for the 2027 Powerhouse Women Event NOW: August 6-8, 2027!   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity
