What are emotions—and why do they feel so overwhelming sometimes?

In this episode, we slow things down and return to the basics. We explore what emotions actually are, where they come from, and how they show up in the body before we ever put words or stories to them.

Rather than treating emotions as problems to fix or manage away, we look at them as meaningful signals—messengers pointing toward what matters, what hurts, and what needs care or attention.

Together, we talk about:

• Why emotions are not random or irrational

• How emotions show up in the body before they become thoughts

• The difference between feeling an emotion and being ruled by it

• Why learning emotional literacy is essential—for work, relationships, and inner life

• Why suppressing them isn't strength

This conversation sets the foundation for future episodes where we’ll explore values, boundaries, our relationship to power, and how our inner emotional world mirrors what we see playing out collectively in the world around us.

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t know what I’m feeling” or “I feel too much,” this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and begin again—with curiosity instead of control.
