We're diving into some serious stuff today as we shift the podcast's vibe from Stillness in the Storms to Living Deeper Lives. I want to explore what it really means to be 100% human, especially when it comes to dealing with our emotions. Life throws curveballs at us, and how we handle those moments—like hearing bad news or feeling overwhelmed—is crucial. We're talking about riding the emotional waves instead of trying to calm the ocean. Join me as we figure out how to accept our feelings, embrace our humanity, and live those deeper lives we’re all searching for.

Living Deeper Lives takes a fresh turn with a new name and a broader focus. The podcast, formerly known as Stillness in the Storms, is now about embracing our humanity and the full range of emotions we experience. I want to dive deeper into what it means to be human and how we can navigate the tough stuff that life throws our way. Today, we're tackling those unexpected phone calls that change everything; you know, the ones that leave us reeling. We share personal stories, including a heartbreaking moment I faced when I learned of a friend's passing. It’s about acknowledging those feelings and understanding that everyone reacts differently to loss and grief. We explore how to sit with those emotions instead of shoving them aside, and the importance of allowing ourselves to feel. Emotions are like waves, and rather than trying to calm the ocean, we learn to ride those waves, letting them come and go as they please. This episode sets the stage for what’s to come in Living Deeper Lives, where we’ll learn to live more fully and authentically.
