Being human, a woman and a mom comes with a whole lot of emotions, but we don’t often give ourselves the permission to really feel them. When we suppress our feelings, we’re hiding from ourselves, and operating without some very important insights.

As uncomfortable as it is, learning to embrace our emotions is a life changing act that will create more alignment.

How do we get into conversation with our feelings, and uncover what they are trying to tell us? Why is deep self-trust so powerful?

In this episode, host of “Emotionally Uncomfortable”, Heather Chauvin returns to talk about the important work she’s doing - helping women and moms do the inner work to fully accept their emotions.

"If we go to that inner world and use our language, behavior and emotional states to guide us back home to ourselves, this is how we create alignment." -Heather Chauvin

Social media often feels like something that diverts our attention and causes us to do more than we need to, but there’s no denying that it has value in growing our businesses.

The challenge is, there are so many social media trends constantly coming at us, it’s hard to know what to take action on, and what we don’t need to be paying attention to.

How do we identify a trend that’s worth following? In this episode, I’m going to share a simple way to decide what social media trends we need to be focusing on.

There is no 'right' way to talk about sex with our kids. How we choose to do it is deeply personal, and no one else should ever dictate how we do it.

That said, sometimes, hearing how others have done it can be incredibly helpful. The only question is, in a world where it's so easy to be judgmental, where can we actually have those conversations?

In this episode, Founder of Sex Ed Rescue, Cath Hakanson shares her suggestions on the matter.

Disclaimer: because this episode deals with a sensitive topic, I'd suggest listening to it away from your children.
