Ep. 129: How to Handle Emotional Waves + Family Expectations
About this episode
In this episode, I’m answering a listener’s question about having Emotional Authority and the Escalator Wave—aka the emotional highs and lows that come with decision-making. We’re diving into what it really means to honor your emotional process, why fast decisions aren’t for everyone, and how to navigate family dynamics when they expect quick answers from someone who’s literally designed to take their time. If you’ve ever felt rushed, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by pressure to “just decide already,” this one’s for you.
