“We ultimately have to let down our restrictions with emotions – these walls that we’ve built up for ourselves. There are so many things that were instilled in me that hiding and holding my emotions in was much more important, when really people are just saying that because other people are uncomfortable with you expressing your emotions.”

Our hosts Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond explore the role of emotions in decision-making and personal growth. Listen in as Jessica shares a personal story about an impulsive decision to get a puppy and the emotional journey that followed. This episode guides us through recognizing our impulses, resisting the temptation to rush decisions, and how to use our emotions as a guidance system.

Come journey into understanding and managing emotions, with a spotlight on the concept that emotions are energy in motion. Jessica and McKenzie introduce insights from Abraham Hicks on using emotions as guidance, and discuss the emotional guidance scale. Pessimism, boredom, contentment, and more – they explore how these are all part of the progression of emotions. You’ll learn how slowing down can help recognize and shift our emotional programming.

Jessica and McKenzie also touch on traditional Chinese medicine and yin yoga as tools for understanding our body’s needs and our emotions as a form of healing. They explore how astrology can help us connect to our emotional guidance. To wrap things up, they celebrate the ability to acknowledge and practice our emotions, reframing negative thoughts into positive ones and flipping from dread into joy. Tune in and honor your emotions, remembering that where you are today is enough.
