You know those big things that happen in your life that overwhelm you? No need to feel ashamed about it. You are supposed to experience things that are beyond your capacity. We talk about why, the benefits of these too-hard-to-handle things, and what we can do when life really knocks us down.

Sounds counter-intuitive that by opening yourself up to feel more, you suffer less. But it's actually true. You have room inside you for so much feeling, even emotions that seem to conflict with one another. In this episode we talk about why it's important to open yourself up to feel more, and ways to do it.

One of the hardest things to reconcile ourselves to when we go through intense emotional pain is that we cannot control the timing of our healing.

In this episode we talk about how to just be at peace with the fact that healing doesn't happen on our own personal timetable.
