In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Hurt, April and Andrea dive deep into the world of emotions. What it really means to be “in your feelings,” and why that’s not a bad thing.

They explore the difference between having feelings and being dysregulated, and how our emotions serve as powerful information about our needs, boundaries, and alignment. From childhood messages like “suck it up” to the ways we’ve learned to apologize for our emotions, this conversation unpacks why so many of us struggle to sit with what we feel.

April and Andrea also share practical, body-based tools to help you recognize, regulate, and express emotions safely, including grounding holds, breathwork, and even a “peacemaker” technique to calm the nervous system.

This episode is a gentle reminder: feeling deeply doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re human.
