Then, through a simple coherence practice, you are invited to create spaciousness between what you feel and who you are.  This episode explores:   Why saying \u201cI am sad\u201d or \u201cI am anxious\u201d can unconsciously turn emotion into identity   How to practice healthy disassociation without suppressing, bypassing, or denying what you feel   A simple language shift that builds clarity, emotional resilience, and self-trust   Why awareness is your source of agency when thoughts or emotions feel overpowering   A heart and body-based coherence drop-in to regulate your nervous system and return to steadiness   If this episode was supportive for you, please share it with another leader who would benefit. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc Join Melissa live each weekday at 9am ET on LinkedIn and Instagram.
