Best of Live Brighter: Emotional Wellness
In this Season Rewind mash-up, we explore why we react the way we do and how to move toward emotional steadiness and nervous system peace. These four episodes dive into the cost of suppressing emotions, the roots of mental and emotional challenges, and how trauma and overwhelm show up in our bodies.
Through practical tools like journaling, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation, you’ll learn how to shift from survival mode into clarity, calm, and resilience. If you’ve struggled with anxiety, emotional flooding, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode offers insight, hope, and simple steps toward healing.
