289: What Happens When You Stop Running from Your Emotions?
Release Date: 11/26/2025
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, we explore how easy it is to take one tiny interpretation of your purpose, your gifts, your pace, your “role” and lock yourself into it so tightly that you miss the bigger picture your life is actually trying to show you. If you’ve been feeling “behind,” resisting a slower pace, or questioning whether you’re still on the right path… this episode will give you a completely new way to look at it. Because what if the problem isn’t you? What if the problem is the meaning you attached to who you think you’re supposed to be? Tune in to explore: How we accidentally...

What if the emotions you avoid… are actually the doorway to freedom? I had an inner child meditation recently that didn’t go the way I expected. Instead of comfort, I was met with darkness, and my first instinct was to run. But for once, I stayed. And that moment revealed something I’ve never seen so clearly: It’s not the feeling that hurts us; it’s the running. Most of us were never taught how to sit with discomfort. We were taught to cope, push it down, avoid it, or distract ourselves with productivity and positivity. But when you keep running… your emotional body fills up. And...

If you’ve ever looked at someone else’s pace…their ideas…their methods… and thought, “I should be more like that,”this episode is going to hit home. Because what if you aren’t supposed to be like them? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on something I’ve wrestled with: How do you trust your own rhythm, your own path when everyone around you seems to be going faster or doing it differently? I cover: How your energy teaches, even when you don’t realize it What if someone needs to see the way you live? What if honoring your way is the work? Tune in if...

You know those moments that feel too aligned to be coincidence? That’s exactly how this conversation came to be. This week I’m joined by Michael McAdams, co-author of An Angel Told Me So — a powerful collection of messages dictated directly from spirit teachers and angels through his mother over 22 years. Michael has spent a lifetime bridging the physical and spiritual realms, helping others understand how divine guidance really works. In this episode, we explore what it means to let something bigger lead you, and how guidance from your angels, spirit teachers, or higher self is never...

You know those moments when something weirdly specific happens, a song lyric, a repeating number, a dream that feels too obvious, and your first thought is, “Wait… was that a sign?” Then your mind jumps in: “Nah, you’re imagining it.” This episode dives straight into that in-between space where your logical brain wants proof, but your higher self is already whispering, “Trust it.” I share a personal story from a sound bath that turned into an unexpected, vivid download — and what it taught me about trusting my own connection. But more than that, this episode is an invitation...

We all say we want more, more signs, more money, more clarity, more purpose. But when’s the last time you actually followed the nudges you’ve already been given? In this episode, I’m talking about how guidance doesn’t show up as a giant neon sign. It starts small — the gut feelings, the synchronicities, the quiet “call so-and-so,” and only expands when you prove you’re listening. Because if you’re not acting on the little things, why would your guides hand you the big ones? You’ll hear stories about ignoring (and finally following) those subtle pulls, how fear disguises...

We’re entering an era where being too much is exactly what the world needs. For so long, fitting in meant safety, but now, authenticity is survival. The moment you let yourself be seen as you are, you’ll start attracting the people who’ve been waiting for someone like you to go first. Being yourself isn’t the problem, or something to fear, it’s the solution to your expansion. The truth is, people who aren’t growing will always be uncomfortable around those who are. But your “too much” is what cuts through the noise, inspires change, and leads you to your real community....

Everyone’s out here trying to “find” their purpose…But what if you already know what it is? What if the thing you’re here to do isn’t something you have to search for, but something you’re avoiding, overthinking, or trying to perfect? In this episode, I dive into a totally different way of looking at purpose, one that flips the script on the whole “find your calling” story. We’ll talk about: Why you’re not here to “find” your purpose. You already know it. The difference between doing it how everyone else does and doing it the way you’re designed to. Why the...

We’ve officially entered the “I freaking love it” era. The time where what we create, build, and share can no longer be faked. This new wave? It’s what I call the Frequency Generation. A time where people are quitting the safe and starting the passion projects. We are moving into the raw, real, “I love this so much I’d do it for free” energy. In this episode, I talk about: The difference between those who genuinely love what they do and those who don’t Why frequency, intention, and energy are becoming the new form of currency The power of doing something just because you...

If you’ve ever questioned whether what you do matters because it doesn’t look “big” enough, this episode is for you. We live in a world obsessed with visibility, numbers, recognition, applause. But what if your quiet, consistent effort is already making a bigger impact than you realize? Because every thought, every action, every moment you choose love over fear, it all adds up. As I near 300 episodes of Woo Woo Wednesday, I’ve been reflecting and it made me realize something I think we all forget: the quiet, unseen work counts. The time spent thinking, learning, journaling,...

I had an inner child meditation recently that didn’t go the way I expected. Instead of comfort, I was met with darkness, and my first instinct was to run. But for once, I stayed. And that moment revealed something I’ve never seen so clearly:
It’s not the feeling that hurts us; it’s the running.
Most of us were never taught how to sit with discomfort. We were taught to cope, push it down, avoid it, or distract ourselves with productivity and positivity. But when you keep running… your emotional body fills up. And eventually, there’s no more room to hold anything new.
This episode isn’t just about inner child work, it’s about what happens when you stop running from the feelings you’ve buried.
In this episode, we explore:
-
Why avoiding emotions makes them stick.
-
What happens when you stay instead of change or distract.
How buried emotions can block guidance, clarity, and creativity. -
A different way to meet your inner child — without fixing anything.
If you’ve ever felt full… overwhelmed… or tired of holding everything together — this one might be for you.
