Episode notes

i was losing my father in law to his ten year battle with cancer. He had a stroke where he couldn't speak, couldn't move and was bedridden. I still see it in him, like there are times when he'll just start crying in the middle of the day. It's been almost two years now. And i think what i've found, what many people that i've spoken with about this have also found, is that people are really good right away,. But then they kind of forget ah because you're still going through it. So i think something just for all of us to keep in mind is just the periodic checkin. This is o my husband's dad.

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.
