200. Feelings Are Not a Sign of Failure: Rethinking Emotional Capacity

DEC 3, 202513 MIN

Description

What if being undone, feeling big emotions, or even feeling overwhelmed is actually what healing looks like? Most of us have been taught that doing well means feeling calm, composed, and in control, but I want to make the case that falling apart might be a sign of your greatest emotional strength and a marker that you're at a meaningful growth edge.

In this episode, I explore why emotional capacity, strength, resilience, and progress sometimes look messy. You'll discover why feeling big feelings isn't failure; it's often a sign of recovery. You'll learn how a regulated nervous system isn't defined by calm, but by responsiveness. And you'll understand why emotional intensity may mean your system is no longer in survival mode, but is expanding its capacity to hold more of your lived experience.
