EP. 19: Your Emotions Are Not the Enemy — Reclaiming Emotional Sovereignty
Manage episode 493863717 series 3657498
You’ve been taught to fear your feelings.
To manage them. Suppress them. Fix them.
But what if your emotions are not the problem—what if they’re the portal?
In this raw and soul-deep episode, Dawn Elgin breaks down what it means to reclaim emotional sovereignty—to feel everything without being ruled by any of it.
This isn’t another conversation about "emotional regulation." This is an unapologetic call back to the body, back to the truth, and back to the power you left behind when you started calling your emotions too much.
You’ll learn to stop fusing your identity with temporary states, stop bypassing your own truth, and start wielding your emotional experience like the sacred compass it is.
Because emotional mastery isn’t about always being calm—it’s about being clear.
