understanding big emotions amidst life's challenges: how to navigate your feelings when it's chaotic, overwhelming, and confusing

Sometimes feelings just don't make sense. And that’s okay, but understanding them should be a top priority. In order to really understand something, there are a few important factors, including comprehension, insight, and empathy. Understanding requires a huge effort towards cognitive engagement, and this episode encourages exactly that. In this episode, Lily vulnerably approaches a few ways to explore big emotions amidst life’s challenges and transitions. Lily discusses a few struggles she is currently facing, including a disconnect between her brain and her heart.  This is episode #3 of the SURF series — Stop, Understand, Relationships, Faith — a five-week journey where we explore how to find joy and purpose in life's ups and downs. How are you riding the wave?
