I recently did an interview for a colleague of mine, Jasmine Myers. She's been a business coach for a while now and she's interviewing tons of businesswomen.

Show notes

When big emotions come up for us, we often tell ourselves something along the lines of, "I don't have time for this," especially if it happens out in public or around other people. It might present as heaviness or tightness in your chest, a catching in your throat, or that feeling that you'll cry if someone just glances your way.

Learn what processing emotions means, and how practicing it creates self-awareness, self-trust, and self-safety. I'm showing you what processing emotions might look like in real time, my favorite, simplest way to process my emotions, and how you can help your clients navigate their big emotions.
