Ep 66 My "Secret Sauce"

My "Secret Sauce" is a two-part recipe:

1. Jody Moore: her podcast "Better Than Happy" was the catalyst what I'm doing (she's my mentor, example, and one of my greatest influencers)

2. Learning to be okay with the discomfort of feeling negative emotions (taught by Jody) "Discomfort is the currency to your dream life." -Brooke Castillo

We have generally been conditioned to go through life avoiding discomfort and negative emotions at all costs. We say things like “oh, don’t be sad” or “don’t be afraid,” as if we shouldn’t feel those things.  But the truth is, negative emotions are not a problem per se (they are part of being a human).

When we avoiding feeling the discomfort of negative emotion, and therefore never learn what to do with it, we prevent ourselves from growing. It keeps us from building the incredibly valuable skill of being resilient. We end up emotionally inflexible and unable to adapt (let alone thrive), because we never learned how to manage what’s going on inside of us.

Listen to learn how to gain more resiliency, and become more of the BOSS of your life!
