60 | Feeling Overwhelmed? My Method for ...

LaToya Edwards | Life Coaching and Emotional Resilience Coaching for Women
About this episode

Have you ever felt “off” but couldn’t quite explain why? Maybe you were on the verge of tears or snapping at someone, but when you tried to name the feeling… nothing came up. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why it’s so hard to identify your emotions in the moment—and how you can start noticing them with more ease and clarity. We’ll talk about common reasons this happens, subtle signs your body gives you when something’s going on beneath the surface, and a few simple ways to tune in without feeling overwhelmed.

If you’ve ever struggled to put words to what you’re feeling, this episode will help you begin building that emotional awareness—one small check-in at a time.
