In this episode of Question It, I share my personal journey of discovering how my seemingly healthy habits might have been hiding deeper emotional pain and hindering my growth for decades. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I experienced a significant shift in my life by slowing down and reducing distractions, including cutting back on news consumption and exercise routines. This newfound stillness enabled me to tap into emotions I had long suppressed, leading to moments of deep reflection—and, I’ll admit, a lot of crying. Through this process, I realized that while I thought I was nurturing my health, I was actually avoiding my emotional pain and the feelings that needed my attention. Join me as I explore how removing distractions has helped me confront my emotions, been essential for my personal development, and how my journey might resonate with your own experiences.

Key Takeaway: Reflect on your own habits: Are they genuinely serving your well-being, or are they distractions keeping you from addressing deeper emotional struggles?

Peace. Love. Connect.
