In today's episode, I'm talking about the phrase "I'm just complaining" and other things we say to downplay what we feel. We've been conditioned to downplay our emotions, especially in rural life and agricultural spaces, where strength is often measured by how much you can "grit and bear." Vulnerability gets squashed by shame.
It's time we flip the script and stop minimizing what we're feeling. Your feelings MATTER - they're not a burden or a weakness. If you need space to unpack something heavy, I've recently opened up one-time, 1:1 guidance calls. I've been there, and I know how valuable it can be to talk with someone who sees and hears you. I'd be honored to support you because you are NOT alone, friend!
In this episode, I cover:
- Why we tend to downplay our feelings + how that keeps us stuck
- What to say instead of “I’m just complaining” when you need to be heard
- The quiet power of simply being present for someone in their pain
