Breadcrumb 24 - The importance of working through emotions not against them
I recorded this episode towards the end of my solo travels across South East Asia and reflected on some of the key lessons that helped me thrive across the year. Something I had always felt was a quiet guilt about feeling negative emotion. In this breadcrumb I highlight the toxic outcome that creates and how to change it. At OneUp we believe in being curious and taking a little bit of value from everyone, so welcome to the breadcrumb series. Where we get bite sized amounts of previous episodes and can hear a new perspective in less than 5 minutes.
