Feeling your feelings sounds like really simple advice, but it really isn’t. We’re taught from a young age that certain feelings are good and acceptable, and others are not. We’re often told that our feelings are inconvenient for others to deal with, that expressing our feelings is unprofessional, or that having emotions makes us irrational and unreliable.

Today’s podcast episode is all about why feeling your feelings is so important, why it’s difficult, and how you can start doing it. This is a topic I’ve struggled with myself and so I’m hoping that I can share a bit about my experiences and that it’ll be helpful for you and you’ll realise that you are not alone in this.

Topics covered in this episode:

• How (and why) we’re taught not to feel or express our feelings
• How the patriarchy and white supremacy teach us that feeling and expressing feelings is bad
• What you can do to start feeling and expressing your feelings in a safe and healthy way
