65 The Power of Joy and Pain

The Power of the Only

"Sunshine comes after the rain, right? But what if the key to our peace, success and true fulfillment isn't waiting for the pain to pass (the rain) to feel joy (sunshine), but our ability to navigate both -- and at the same time?" - Angela Chee

How do we feel it all when we are feeling so much?

I have been thinking a lot about the power of joy and pain, so today, I talk about ways to manage all of the emotions you have been juggling since the start of the pandemic. The world is moving forward, so how do we continue to move forward and thrive? I talk about the ability of all of us to feel both joy and pain simultaneously and the benefits of allowing our pain to be expressed and fully experienced. I also talk about where we store our pain and how we can validate that pain along our journey towards healing.

"I know I’m not alone. My friends, my clients, we’re all just holding it together, fluctuating between life’s joyous milestones and, at times, tragic pain and everywhere in between -- and to cope some of us may just stay somewhere in the middle because we don’t know how to feel." - Angela Chee

In today's show, we talk about how to cultivate and celebrate your joy and why it is important that you fully feel your pain in order to release it.

"That is the next level of my Power of The Only evolution: to feel it all to heal it all and to move on." - Angela Chee
