Most of us were never taught how to understand what we feel. Instead, we learned to push emotions down, ignore them, or try to get rid of them as quickly as possible. But what if that entire approach is backwards? In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Veilleux breaks down the idea that emotions aren’t problems—they’re messages. Signals from your mind and body pointing to what matters, what needs attention, and what you might be avoiding. This episode explores what happens when you stop fighting your emotions and start listening to them—and how that shift can change the way you understand yourself entirely.
