On Day 19, I share the importance of acknowledging and sharing our feelings, especially during difficult times. I open up about my struggles with sleep and the emotional burden of recent grief, illustrating how these feelings can affect daily life. I highlight that it's okay to not feel great all the time and share the value of having a support system to share these feelings with. I believe verbalizing our struggles can help normalize them, making them feel more manageable. By being honest about my own challenges, I hope to encourage listeners to embrace their emotions and seek connection during tough times. Takeaways: It's important to acknowledge when you're not feeling great and share those feelings. Taking time off to care for yourself is essential for mental well-being and balance. The pressure of podcasting can lead to frustrations, but it's crucial to remember the purpose. Normalizing feelings of sadness and struggle helps us connect with others who feel the same way. Acknowledging your emotions and expressing them can alleviate the anxiety and burdens you carry. Every episode may not resonate with everyone, but each story has its audience and purpose.
