315: Emotional Mastery with Dr. Joan Rosenberg

Published: May 19, 2022, 8 a.m.

We all experience emotions, but most of us don\u2019t really understand what emotions are. These feelings can drastically alter our day, our life and our experience in the world, yet they\u2019re intangible and often messy and confusing. It\u2019s no wonder many of us try to avoid them altogether.\xa0

\xa0

Well, get ready to have your mind blown and to see emotions in a whole new light in this brilliant episode with Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg began her study of emotions when she was trying to figure out what made some people confident in life, and her finding was surprising: confidence didn\u2019t just come from a sense of self-esteem but from our ability to handle uncomfortable emotions.

As she dug deeper into the human emotional experience, she uncovered a world of surprises around our understanding of emotions and how we can better process, experience and master our emotions.\xa0

We talked about why emotions are so uncomfortable for us (it\u2019s not why you think), what a compliment really is and why it matters so much, what drives fear, anxiety and grief, our fears around emotions and how we get stuck in emotion. Dr. Joan also shares her formula for feeling, experiencing and expressing the eight core emotions in an authentic way that helps them truly move through us.

As much as I talk about emotions, I was still left speechless more than once in this episode as Dr. Rosenberg got to the heart of what is really beneath certain emotions and my perspective was shifted in so many ways. This is a truly empowering show that will help you live a more balanced and confident life.
