The Confetti Project

(TW/S) In one of her favorite subjects, Jelena - an HSP - whose big feelings have always been weaponized against her, brings an extensive take on how we can begin to cultivate a relationship to our feelings so we don’t have to carry our repressed pain. In the wake of the death of Stephen “tWitch” Boss, someone who personified an outward exterior of joy, it’s unavoidable to see how many people mask their deeper struggles because society has not created a safe space for any feelings aside from happiness to be processed. In a culture that's anti-feeling that offers no mental health education or resources in childhood, it’s not surprising that the rates of destructive behaviors are rising and rooted in an emotional void. Jelena shares the work of emerging leaders in the field of mental health and transformation, like: Whitney Goodman, New Happy Co., Byron Katie, and Dr. Caroline Leaf - to expand your scope on what emotional hygiene looks like and why all emotions have value. She shares her personal experiences of how her grief became a portal into feeling while proving that we can feel many things at once. She also explores the characteristics of HSP’s, why it's vital to challenge our feelings, and how vulnerability is our superpower.
