206: Granting Yourself Permission to FEEL Emotion & Why It Matters to Your Health
Emotion can be incredibly helpful or horribly destructive depending on what we do to process them or if we process them at all.
I deeply wish that emotional management was a course taught in primary school. There is so much needless suffering in the world because people either do not allow themselves to feel difficult emotion or they don’t take responsibility where they can for the emotion they do feel.
In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about why learning how to FEEL all emotion is so important to your health and how to retrain yourself to feel emotion rather than deny, resist or numb it.

Hi Courtney, I really ejoyed your podcast, thank you for the very timely reminders.
You reminded me of one of my favorite poems, please delete if it’s not ok to post. Sending love from Melbourne, Australia 🥰
This being human is a guest house.⠀
Every morning a new arrival.⠀
⠀
A joy, a depression, a meanness,⠀
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.⠀
⠀
Welcome and entertain them all!⠀
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,⠀
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,⠀
still, treat each guest honorably.⠀
He may be clearing you out⠀
for some new delight.⠀
⠀
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.⠀
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.⠀
⠀
Be grateful for whatever comes.⠀
because each has been sent⠀
as a guide from beyond.⠀
⠀
— Jellaludin Rumi,⠀
