Getting In Your Feelings for Self-Care

Rachel Brathen
About this episode

Crying is a natural bodily function! But because of past stories, fears, vulnerabilities, and a lot of other reasons, many of us don’t cry. We hold it in and soldier on. Today’s episode is a permission slip to have a really good cry. Rachel shares how she does this practice, and then you can give it a try. And if you end up laughing, that’s beautiful too. Tune in to begin.
