In this short bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the quiet strength hidden within our tears. We often see crying as a sign of fragility, but science reveals it’s actually a neurochemical release—a natural reset for the body and mind. Learn how emotional tears differ from reflex tears, what happens in the brain when we cry, and why allowing yourself to weep can calm the nervous system and restore emotional balance.

Grounded in psychological and physiological research, this five-minute reflection invites you to see your tears not as breakdowns, but as breakthroughs. Let this be your gentle reminder: tears are the body’s way of saying, “I’m ready to let go.”

🎧 Tune in for a moment of science, softness, and self-compassion.
