Exploring the Flavors of Emotions with Kim Korte

In this episode of Real Men Feel, host Andy Grant converses with Kim Korte, a sensory perception and emotion management strategist. Kim explains her unique metaphor for emotions, comparing them to flavors and cooking ingredients. They discuss how emotions are formed, the impact of memories, and the importance of acknowledging and working through emotions rather than suppressing them. Kim shares insights from her book, 'Yucky Yummy Savory Sweet: Understanding the Flavors of Emotions' and discusses how external sensory perceptions and past experiences influence emotional responses. She also emphasizes the significance of emotional granularity and the benefits of being attuned to one's feelings to improve overall well-being.
