Some feelings get labeled good. Others get labeled bad. That single belief might be running your entire life.
You’ll hear why chasing happiness on command wears you down instead of building you up, and why the fastest path to resilience runs straight through the emotions you’ve been avoiding. Susan David, the psychologist and researcher behind the book Emotional Agility, has spent over two decades studying why some people bend under pressure and others don’t.
She breaks down the difference between having an emotion and being owned by it, using a simple image you’ll carry into your next hard day. You’ll hear about the notebook she started writing in as a teenager that nobody else could read, and how her father answered the one question she couldn’t stop asking him.
Susan and Lewis get into why negativity isn’t always the enemy, how self bias quietly convinces you that other people were right about your limits, and what it actually takes to stop reacting and start responding.
You are not the feeling that showed up today. You are the whole sky it’s passing through.
