24. Is This Mine? Staying Present With Emotions Without Absorbing (or Fixing) Them

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I invite you to slow down and create space between an emotional wave and the unconscious urge to fix it — in yourself or in someone else.

So much of our suffering doesn’t come from feeling, but from what we do next. From trying to manage, explain, control, or bypass emotion instead of allowing it to move.

I share lived experiences from partnership and parenting, and offer a simple but powerful inquiry that has changed how I relate to my emotions and the emotions of the people I love: Is this mine?

Is this mine to move, to witness, to hold, or to release?

I also gently acknowledge that we experience emotion differently — including emotionally defined and undefined experiences in Human Design — without turning emotion into something to fix or solve.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by feeling, unsure what to do with your own emotions, or caught in patterns of fixing or carrying what isn’t yours, this episode is an invitation back to space, clarity, and embodied trust.

✨ Companion Practice✨ 

If this inquiry resonates, I’ve created a companion practice — Is This Mine? — for the moments when emotion feels urgent and you don’t want to lose yourself in it. 

It’s designed as a simple, repeatable touchstone you can return to — especially in moments when feeling is strong and you want to respond from clarity rather than reflex.

You can get instant access to it here.
