51: Why Emotional Mastery Is Not the Goal (and Why It Might Be Keeping You Stuck)
Manage episode 481380582 series 3652363
We’ve been told that being calm, cool, and collected is the goal. That if we want to be successful, magnetic, abundant we better get our emotions in check. But what if that’s the very thing keeping you stuck? What if the self-management you’ve been praised for… is actually self-abandonment?
In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the emotional control myth that so many driven women are living inside without even realizing it. I talk about the sneaky ways we micromanage ourselves in the name of “growth,” how that internal tension shows up in real life (like second-guessing every idea or hanging in the back of the room), and why your nervous system (and not your mindset) holds the key to an abundant life.
🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why emotional suppression isn’t emotional mastery (and why it’s doing more harm than good)
- The subtle ways “self-control” becomes self-abandonment
- How micromanaging your inner world leads to disconnection, numbness, and eventually emotional burnout
- What embodiment actually means (hint: it’s not just “feeling your feelings”)
- The link between nervous system safety and your ability to receive (abundance, love, ease, all of it)
💥 Key Takeaways:
- Managing yourself isn’t the goal. Being yourself is.
- You can’t mindset your way into safety. Your nervous system will always win.
- Emotional suppression isn’t mature, it’s exhausting.
- Feeling safe to be who you are = the foundation for sustainable abundance.
- Wholeness is about bringing all of you home.
🌀 Take Action:
➡️ Stop trying to be "in control" of your emotions. Instead, notice where you're micromanaging yourself in real-time.
