This is clearly an unprecedented time that is creating varying degrees of challenges depending on your circumstances.  With you by your side will be your emotions.  With the changes and different pressures you are experiencing, negative feelings are going to likely arise.  In this episode, I share with you how to address anxiety, sadness, frustration and anger from a place of empowerment.  I'll also reveal my own personal experiences of each of these feelings I've been experiencing and how I've dealt with my emotions.  (Spoiler Alert: It hasn't been perfect!). Please know that empowerment does not mean shoving your emotions down nor is it an emotional free for all.  Your emotions are a guide to support you to show up as your best self, especially when challenged.  I hope this episode can support you to have compassion for the negative feelings that are arising in yourself and others and provide you with an approach that will support you to feel better.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)
