Love & Sadness (Part 2) ❤️😢 Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we saw in Part 1, love pulls us toward others, where sadness draws us inward to reflect.

Love & Sadness (Part 1) ❤️😢 Welcome back to Big Emotions! We're feeling all squishy this week, as we dive into two of the strongest emotions of all. Love is powerful, joyful, and comforting - and when it changes or we feel its absence, sadness often follows. Sadness can feel heavy, but it helps us slow down, notice what matters, and deepen our connections. In this episode, we explore the softer,...

Embarrassment & Pride (Part 2) 😳🏆 Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we learnt in part 1, embarrassment and pride both shape how we see ourselves - and in part 2, we dive deeper into these self-conscious emotions.

Embarrassment & Pride (Part 1) 😳🏆 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we're hiding behind the sofa, and then jumping in front of the camera! Embarrassment and pride might seem like opposites, but they're really two sides of the same coin. Both are "self-conscious" emotions that help us reflect on how we show up in the world. In this episode, we explore the squirmy moments that make our cheek...

Belonging & Independence (Part 2) 🫂🚀 Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we explored in Part 1, Belonging means finding friends and places that celebrate you for who you are.

Belonging & Independence (Part 1) 🫂🚀 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we're thinking about ourselves in a group, or what it feels like when we strike out on our own. We'll discover how belonging means being part of a group that accepts and values you, whereas independence is about finding your own way, making your own choices, and standing on your own two feet. In this episode, we explore...

Anger & Forgiveness (Part 2) 😡🕊️ Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we saw in part 1, anger can flare up in a moment, but forgiveness has the power to calm the storm. In Part 2, we go even deeper into how these two emotions work together - with more stories, practical tools, and even a parable that shows what can happen when we pause to see things differently. You'll hear how understanding someone...

Anger & Forgiveness (Part 1) 😡🕊️ Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week's focus is on two emotions that can make us feel full of rage, but then make us feel lighter than ever! Anger can feel like a volcano ready to blow - but it's also a signal that something isn't right. Forgiveness is like putting down a heavy backpack of hurt, making space for calm and healing. In this episode, we explore how...

Jealousy & Openness (Part 2) 😒💛 Welcome back to Big Emotions! In Part 1 of Jealousy & Openness, we explored the sting of jealousy and the pull of envy - and learned how these tricky emotions can actually guide us toward what matters most.

Jealousy & Openness (Part 1) 😒💛 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we're diving into jealousy and envy, which we know can be tricky feelings - they can sting, make us compare ourselves to others, or worry we'll lose someone important to us. But they can also be helpful, pointing us toward what matters most and motivating us to grow. In this episode, you'll discover the difference between je...

Fear & Bravery (Part 2) 😱🦸 Welcome back to Big Emotions! Bravery doesn't mean never feeling afraid - it's about feeling fear and moving forward anyway.

You'll discover how sitting with fear, learning from it, and practicing bravery can change the w...
