Have you ever stopped to wonder why you feel the things that you do? Feelings. Feelings. Feelings. For some us that is the ultimate bad word. We simply don’t want to feel. Others are stuck in their feelings, struggling to function well every day.  Whether you consider yourself an emotional person or not, feelings are important. What do we need to understand about our emotions in order to be healthy? What lies do we believe about our emotions that keep us stuck?

Our emotions play a huge role in our lives — maybe even more than we give them credit for.  Licensed Professional Counselor and friend to the podcast, Shundria Riddick, shares how emotions can lead us in many directions and how we can take back the director’s chair. Unbridled emotions can help or harm us but the good news is we each have the power to understand the truth about our feelings and how they guide us without governing our behavior.  This joyful, in-depth and transparent episode provides insight and practical knowledge in understanding our feelings.

Why we feel certain emotions and how we expect others to address our feelings has the potential to be a complicated process, but it does not have to be an impossible one.  Shundria provides us with an easy-going, counselor-friend view of having better control of our emotional self. During this conversation, she covers why we feel what we feel and offers tips towards emotional well being.
