My journey to reframing my sadness

LISTEN TO EP 98: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

In today's episode, I am going to give you some suggestions on how we can reframe our sadness. Now all of these suggestions are under the assumption that you have already sat with the sadness, you have reconciled that you are sad, you have determined why you are sad, and you are now ready to reframe it. This absolutely does that mean that the minute that you begin to feel sadness rising that you "quote unquote" reframe it. Because now, that is avoidance and we're not doing that.

Our culture often encourages us to suppress sadness, labeling it as a weakness. But what if we shifted our perspective? Sadness is a natural human emotion, signaling that something matters to us. By acknowledging it, we honor our feelings and create space for healing.

So allow yourself to experience a big ugly cry. And then dive into my other gems for reframing your sadness.
