It’s Okay to Not Be Okay – How to Process Emotions & Navigate Change

In a world that constantly tells us to be strong, stay positive, and push forward, what happens when we don’t feel okay? This week on She Has The Audacity, I’m bringing you a solo episode—one that’s deeply personal and incredibly necessary. We live in a world that tells us to be strong, to stay positive, to manifest joy at all times. But the truth is, life is always a mix of highs and lows, and ignoring the difficult moments only makes them harder to move through. So in this episode, I’m walking you through how to actually process your emotions, rather than suppress them. Because strength isn’t about pretending you’re okay—it’s about allowing yourself to feel, to ask for support, and to navigate change with self-compassion instead of resistance. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: ✨ Why it’s okay to not be okay Let go of the pressure to be happy all the time—life is meant to be a balance of highs and lows. ✨ How to process your emotions instead of ignoring them A step-by-step guide to feeling your feelings, so they don’t control you in ways you don’t even realize. ✨ The J Curve of Change Why things often feel worse before they get better—and how to ride the wave instead of getting stuck in the low point. ✨ What your emotions are trying to tell you Instead of fighting against tough feelings, learn how to listen to them and uncover what you actually need. ✨ The power of asking for support You don’t have to navigate hard moments alone. I promise—there are people waiting to support you, if you let them in. This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel what you need to feel, and remind yourself that you are not doing life wrong just because it feels heavy sometimes. 🎧 Listen Now! (Insert link).
