Allow Yourself to Feel: Embracing Your Emotions Without Judgment

In today’s fast-paced world, we often suppress or judge our emotions, believing that feeling them makes us weak or vulnerable. But suppressing emotions can lead to greater emotional turmoil and long-term suffering. In this episode, Dr. Jodi Aman and her daughter Lily discuss how embracing your emotions without judgment is a key step toward healing and emotional wellness.

You'll also learn the “Two Minutes to Peace” breathing exercise, which helps you process emotions and let go of judgment. Dr. Jodi shares personal stories and insights on how to release the ego's hold on emotional pain and cultivate self-compassion.
