341: Repressed Emotions, Anxiety + Why S...

KELLY LEVEQUE
About this episode

I sit down with Joe Hudson, the executive coach behind some of Silicon Valley’s most successful leaders, to explore the hidden emotions driving anxiety, disconnection, and high performance. Joe shares how repressing feelings like fear and anger block our joy—and how embracing them can lead to true transformation.

We talk about parenting with emotional awareness, the power of letting kids cry, and why Joe doesn’t believe in traditional self-improvement. I also share a breakthrough realization about my marriage and reflect on the deep inner work that’s transformed the way I show up in my relationships and everyday life.
