41. 3 Tangible Actions for Releasing Suppressed Emotions as a Mother

Have you ever been pushed too far that you finally breakdown and scream and cry while driving in your car? Well that was me the other day.  On this Heart AF episode, I walk you through the moment I was finally able too let go and faced the truths of the pains I had been holding in side, those feelings I hadn't really wanted to look at or acknowledge. They finally bubbled up to the surface and came out in the most animalistic ugly crying and screaming way possible while I was sitting in my car in a public parking lot. 

Like Lizzo said, 'Truth Hurts'!

BUT..  When I finally looked at the things I didn't want to see, I was able to let it all go.

This was a turning point in releasing all the suppressed emotions and  resentment that had been building up within me, showing the only way out of it is through.

We dig into: • Suppressed emotions—and how unspoken pain turns into irritation, victimhood, and burnout • The “mirror effect” in relationships (yep, your partner will reflect your stuff) • How to notice triggers before you explode: body cues, short fuse, numb-out habits • Practical tools for release: name it out loud, journal it, move it (somatic shaking/dance), music, crying • Boundaries, responsibility, and self-healing: why no one else can fix what’s hurting inside you • Getting back to alignment—so you can attract joy, abundance, and connection

Quick practices to try today:

1. Name the truth: Say it out loud or write it down.

2. Move the energy: 3 minutes of shaking/dancing or a primal scream in a safe space.

3. Micro-boundary: one small, clear ask the next time a line is crossed.

The UGLY CRY- This is what healing looks like, It's messy, human, and honest.
