Episode notes

It was just like a massive shift to see this over-the-top, gregarious person suddenly be lying there and just being able to moan. My work was very supportive. But it was still, and i see it in my imean. This is o my husband's dad. I still see it in him, like there are times when he'll just start crying in the middle of the day. And so i think something just for all of us to keep in mind is just the periodic checkin.

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.
