Episode notes

i had this thought that if we talk openly about suicide or suicidal thoughts, that that will encourage you to take action. And in fact, the research that i read, an everything that i heard from therapists and from doctors was that like, giving a space to talk about this stuff makes it significantly less likely that they'll actually do it. So what you want is for people to be talking and to feel safe and to feel like there's space for their emotions,. Because then you can start to process them and get to the root and actually solve some of these problems.

Humans: we've got Big Feelings. From happiness to regret, delight to frustration, we all experience a rollercoaster of emotions. But while it's become more acceptable to talk about and even embrace them, it still feels like there is a stigma around admitting that you're grappling with a less-than-positive feeling. Mollie West Duffy (Chris’s wife!) and Liz Fosslien (not Chris’s wife!) are the co-authors of two celebrated books about feelings, “No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions At Work” and “Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay.” In this episode, they share thoughtful insights on the across-the-board importance of talking about our emotions as well as offer tips on how to identify, manage, and learn from the big feelings that make us all human.
