    Molly at This Age on Feeling Angry

    Molly at This Age on Feeling Angry

    Anger is the most uncomfortable emotion for me, and when I’m angry I struggle with what to do with that emotion and how to express it. But there’s value in feeling angry, as with any emotion, and so I’ve learned how to “play” with my emotions, choose which emotion and response I want in a given situation, and today I teach you how you can, too. 

    In this episode, I talk about:

    - Hard emotions.

    - Anger

    - Expressing anger

    - Energy levels as learned from IPEC

    - How you can choose the emotion and response you want to have for every situation

    - How you can dive deeper into this work with me

    Molly at This Age on Feeling EVERYTHING

    The holidays can be full of hard emotions, and if you’re anything like I used to be, you’re doing everything to avoid those emotions. But avoiding hard emotions won’t make them go away. This is my very first solo episode, and I hope it helps you feel a little less alone and a little more comfortable knowing how to feel your feelings and move through them. 

    In this episode, I talk about:

    • My recent trip to Lapland, Finland (above the Arctic Circle). 
    • How to feel and name your emotions.
    • How to center yourself when feeling hard emotions.
    • Other ways to feel confident you can handle any emotion.

    **This episode is dedicated to my Lapland travel crew who I came across just when I needed them the most.
