<p>Hey loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! Today, we’re dismantling a major myth in the world of personal growth – the ‘good vibes only’ mentality. While it’s great to stay positive, I’m here to remind you that we need to feel ALL of our emotions to truly grow. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of emotional contrast. Yes, you can feel sadness, rage, grief, AND joy at the same time – and that’s beautiful! I’ll also be sharing how to navigate the darker emotions that most of us tend to avoid, why they are just as important as the light, and how to transmute them in a healthy way.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Get ready for some juicy tools to work through your anger, feel your grief, and embrace your full range of emotions – all while still celebrating life’s joy.
