Episode 2: Feeling Is a Superpower

LifeCode™: My emotions are not a weakness; they are a compass.

Episode Summary:
In this episode, Monica Wisdom invites us to stop numbing and start listening. For many Black women, feelings were something to manage, not something to honor. But emotion is not the enemy. It’s information. Monica explores how we were taught to suppress our emotional world and how healing begins when we let ourselves feel, fully and freely. This conversation is a reminder that vulnerability isn’t a flaw; it’s a superpower.

Key Takeaways:

- Suppressing emotion can lead to disconnection and burnout
- Feeling is how we process, heal, and reconnect with ourselves
- Softness includes emotional honesty and compassion for our full range of expression
