244: 3 Ways to Connect with Your Feeling...

Laura Doyle
About this episode

Everybody has feelings, but as women, we have emotional brilliance. Maybe your feelings are overwhelming or you think that you're too emotional or too sensitive and you want to figure out a way to not be so easily hurt. But I don't know of a way to not feel what you feel. Even if I did, I wouldn't recommend it. I see being sensitive as a gift. Now that I know how to connect with my feelings, they're not a burden. They are the key ingredient for so many tender and connecting moments in my relationships. They tell me when I'm enjoying myself, when I want to make a change, and how to care for myself. And yes, when I'm hurt, disappointed or lonely. I know what I want because I connect with my feelings. I know myself because I tune into how I feel. And that helps me make myself happy, even if I start out miserable. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about three ways to connect with your feelings.

Plus, my guest Theresia's marriage felt lonely whenever she got her husband's silent treatment, which sometimes lasted for weeks! He seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. Then she had some insights on how to talk to him. Now, she feels close and playful with her husband, who doesn't seem so angry anymore. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too!
