Part of being human and growing spiritually is feeling the full range of emotions. The hard ones aren’t a punishment; they’re here to guide your healing and expansion. In this episode, we explore how emotions like sadness or jealousy can show you what you truly desire and where you’re ready to grow. You’ll learn the difference between clean pain (feeling your emotions fully) and dirty pain (getting stuck in the story), plus how to hold space for yourself through discomfort instead of resisting it. Remember: emotions are temporary, they’re part of the...
