Stop crying. Don’t be sad. Girls don’t get angry. Stop being a nuisance.

You may have heard these and other words when you were growing up; and they all amount to one thing: feelings are bad. You shouldn’t feel them. In fact, won’t it be wonderful if you could turn yourself into a robot and not feel anything at all?

Yet despite your best efforts, these plans are doomed to fail. Humans aren’t wired NOT to feel and attempting to do so carries dire consequences be it binge eating or burnout.

So how do you get back in touch with your feelings? That’s what I’m going to discuss with my guest today.

Today, I am joined by Hieke Maagdenberg. Hieke is a breathwork & mindset coach who’s on a mission to help high-achieving, ambitious women create more impact, joy and freedom in their lives. After seeing the other side of the medal herself, she has now created a balanced, fulfilled and unapologetic life on ALL levels, and she shows her clients how to do the same. Her strategies are focused on breathwork, nervous system regulation and feeling your feelings, which result in a deep level of self-trust and confidence, and the ability to reach any goal through fun, ease and play. 

We discussed:

• What we mean by “feeling your feelings”

• Misconceptions about emotions

• How feelings can get stuck in our bodies

• What happens if you keep repressing your emotions

• Steps you can take to get in touch with your feelings

• Hieke shares a breathwork practice with us :) 

• Feeling your feelings as a sensitive person
