In this episode, we're joined by Emily Chertow, creator of Journaling Classes:  guided journaling workshops focused on mindfulness and self-care. We discuss the power of learning to feel our feelings, crucial for both personal fulfillment and business success. We explore the complexities of creating nurturing spaces for others while discussing the challenges of self-care amidst self-esteem struggles and self-assessment, especially when your work and identity are closely linked. We shed light on the growing pains of personal development and expanding a business, emphasizing the importance of understanding what truly serves us. Throughout our conversation, we learn about the significance of holding our emotions proudly, rather than concealing them, and the resilience that emerges from fully experiencing and moving through difficult times. We touch on how sharing our true feelings with those around us not only fosters deeper relationships but also enhances our ability to meaningfully create. Join us to discover how truly living—and feeling—can profoundly impact every aspect of our lives, leading to a more balanced and authentically driven existence.
