The Change Triangle: Core Emotions, Healing, and Coming Home to Yourself

So many of us walk through life feeling anxious, overwhelmed by feeling, or just...disconnected. In this powerful conversation, we explore why—and how avoiding core emotions like sadness, anger, fear, and even joy can keep us stuck in misery and block us from getting to calm and vitality. I share the Change Triangle, a simple yet life-changing map that helps us move from avoidance and protection to clarity, calm, and connection. If you’ve ever felt emotionally overwhelmed, numb, or pressured to “just get over it,” this episode is for you. Because real healing doesn’t come from pushing feelings away—it comes from turning inward, with compassion and courage.
