Ever felt like you were carrying a lot emotionally but couldn’t put it into words?

If you’ve ever said, “I know I’m feeling something… I just don’t know what,” this episode is for you. As HSPs and introverts, we often experience emotions in layers but without the language to name them, those feelings can get stuck, swirling inside until we shut down or say “I’m fine” (when we’re definitely not).

In this episode, I’m talking about why it’s hard to name your emotions, especially if you’ve experienced suppression, trauma, or never had emotional language modeled for you. Then I’ll walk you through a few gentle tools to help you start finding the words: emotional check-ins, using a Feelings Wheel, and simple journaling prompts.

You don’t have to name it perfectly. But you can start understanding yourself more clearly . .. one word at a time.
