Feeling My Feelings Podcast

We're all starting to understand just how much baggage we have,  how deep our personal traumas are and what our inner child needs to heal. If you asked any personal health/spiritual guru how to heal everything once and for all, they would give you a simple, effortless, easy-as-pie solution - LET. GO. Oh! Okay.  Well that makes sense. Wait...but like...how the FUCK do we do that?  In this epis...

Arielle is Asian American, so gaslighting was pretty much the normal form of communication in her household. If she said she felt sad, she'd quickly find out she really didn't...OR ELSE. If she found fault in something her parents did, it was disrespectful.  After years of being stuck in this cycle,  Arielle has grown into one big 'ol brown woman Hulk -- randomly falling into "...

Since Arielle was a kid, she remembers her filipino parents telling her how much they sacrificed to get her this better life by coming to America. And they'd always repeat to her a phrase she reminds herself of to this day: "Yours is just to be happy." It's the big question, isn't it? How do we actually achieve real, genuine, true to us, HAPPINESS?  Just a warning - Ariell...

Arielle is neurodivergent. It's like that movie "Divergent" but much, much more entertaining. It's like, she was born with 10 tabs open in her brain and she struggles to close 9 of them because she's so used to multi-tasking. Also, this has caused her to live very unbalanced - contributing to a host of health issues. The brain circus in her brain, while well-suited for com...

Hi! I'm Arielle, and I'm perfect.  Yes, I am a perfect person who does everything right. What was that? You don't believe me?  HA! Well, let me just show you by attempting to overachieve at everything single damn thing I do and pretend I'm not experiencing crippling anxiety, burnout and digestive issues all at once. I got it, I swear. WHEW! Breathe, y'all. In today's...

In this episode, Arielle references Ted Lasso, her fave example for a successful traumatized child turned superhero empath and how he approaches people when they've done him wrong.  As empaths, we get burnt out from helping those around us or at least just FEELING into them. We're also kind and often people mistake that kindness for weakness and are little bitches that take advantage of...

Arielle has been feeling up and down in the past month. It's probably because astrologically, its been Cancer season and usually our self-esteem gets wonky. But as always, Arielle is seeing this weird emotional time as a learning experience. In this episode, Arielle talks about being a introvert, growing up being in constant competition with her extroverted sister, and accepting her purpose a...

Arielle is an ancient 33 -year-old human. Wow. Her life is over now, right?  HA!  Far from it!  In this episode, Arielle talks about her previous fear of turning 30 and how she hated every birthday for the past 7 years. She now feels happier, more confident and even sexier than she ever was her 20s.  Impossible? Nope. Actually, most people believe their 30s are a sweet spot.  In another episode, A...

Arielle hates admitting this, but she's a...a...do we have to say it? Okay, fine. She's a people-pleaser (*makes gag noise*).  She didn't always believe she was though. In many ways she's too independent and isolated (hi, Aquarius!) to be thought of as one at first. But after looking at her lack of boundaries, it's got to be acknowledged. In this episode, Arielle talks abo...

In this episode, Arielle breaks down how she's fighting to make her health, wellness, and passions a priority - things her ancestors never had the luxury to do. Arielle is a Filipino American woman who is very likely the first of her family line to truly prioritize her feelings and emotions. That's a big deal, bruh.  Past generations of her family often only had time to focus on their su...

Welp, this is a big one! As empaths, we overgive to our friends, family, acquaintances, probably casual partners and of course, workplaces. Not only do we end up feeling underappreciated, but we pick up unhealthy habits and abandon ourselves (again!).  In this episode, Arielle reflects on past toxic workplaces, her struggle to stay balanced, and her new approach to pursuing her biggest dreams. CHA...

...OOOH BOY. Probably the BIGGEST issue us empaths face is not knowing how to stop giving to others and how to stop feeling drained constantly. The world absolutely depends on us to make things less shitty. But like, WE'RE TIRED, Y'ALL! In this episode, Arielle discusses how nuanced the give and take of energy in relationships can be, different ways to recognize energy imbalances in rela...

As empaths, we have a great capacity to feel for and care about others. It's such a powerful, needed quality. But yet, we often forget what makes us special beyond what we can do for everyone else. What about OUR needs? What about OUR epic journeys?!! In this episode, Arielle talks about struggling to literally write herself as the main character of her screenplay, and breaks down habits that...

Hi there! I'm Arielle - a filipina/o/x who considers herself an empath, neurodivergent, a highly sensitive person, and a host of other things I'm sure you'll find relatable.  After years of shaming myself for my ever-racing thoughts and deep well of feelings, I've finally started to realize - these qualities are my SUPERPOWER.  So instead of trying to dilute myself and try to b...

Were you often the most sensitive person in the room when you were growing up? Did you have a hard time trying to control your strong emotions or was it super hard to ignore other people's strong emotions?  SAME. From being "too sensitive" for her parents to numbing her feelings and creative expression all together, it hasn't been easy for Arielle to navigate her, uh, "sup...
