In today's episode, I'm talking about why emotions aren't the problem - avoiding them is. Emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you. They're not an inconvenience (contrary to what you may believe) but are actually a BEAUTIFUL part of our design as humans!

I know that feeling and connecting with your emotions can sound scary, but it is VITAL if you want to experience lasting healing in your life! I would love for you to take some time and think about what emotions you've been ignoring or labeling as bad. Your emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you, so I hope you allow them to do that!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why emotions aren't the problem but are actually meant to help & guide you
  • Understanding that vulnerability deepens connection
  • What happens when you continually shove your emotions down
  • How to begin letting your emotions be your guide vs. a challenge to overcome

Happy Body - A Wellness Podcast Zebediah Rice Ever wonder why a hug feels so good? Or a massage? Or hot baths? It is because these are the sorts of “words” our bodies understand. We can’t command a muscle to relax with a thought or a sentence. We have to speak the body’s language. We do this by combining love and attention with movement and touch. Music works too. This is the language our bodies understand.The Happy Body Podcast takes a different approach to tackling the challenge of physical pain and sickness by combining the wisdom of the ancient masters with modern science. It starts from the premise that sickness and physical pain are often manifestations of an inner imbalance. By connecting the lessons from modern neuroscience with the wisdom teachers of old, the Serena system may well help you on a path back to health. You will find techniques that draw on Feldenkrais, Alexander technique, contemporary physical therapy, nutrition science, and of course the latest medical research from the best doctors and medic What is New Legal Realism? What is New Legal Realism? Why is law so slow to get what's really happening? Why is it often so far away from our real-world experiences? The New Legal Realism movement springs from this frustration. The social sciences study how law really works, using systematic methods. But lawyers and policymakers don't often use that social science knowledge. Law students are never taught about the full range of social science that they could draw on to solve legal problems. At best, our lawyers and judges grab at bits and pieces -- some statistics here, interviews there, observations, experiments -- all jumbled up and often just plain wrong. Social scientists may be baffled about what lawyers need from them -- or how law approaches the world. And THAT'S why we need New Legal Realism, or "NLR." NLR doesn't choose one method or one kind of social science. It doesn't ignore the standards social sciences use to judge good research. But it also doesn't ignore how law works, or how lawyers talk. Law uses its own wei Player 2 Has Entered the Podcast MC Paperstacks & Full Metal Murk Two best friends, two dads, two gamers, two nerds, we are Player 2 Has Entered the Podcast and we love talking about videogames, anime, pop culture, and whatever else happens during our week.
