The Strength and benefits in Crying: Redefining Vulnerability with MJ Renshaw
Are you holding back your emotions—thinking vulnerability makes you weak? Suppressing tears could be silently harming your health, relationships, and even your longevity.
In this episode, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and breathwork teacher MJ Renshaw, founder of The Being Method shares insights from her book How to Cry. She opens up about her personal journey through trauma and grief, revealing why embracing your emotions is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward healing and wholeness.
✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why suppressing emotions increases cortisol, accelerates aging, and harms your health
• The physiological link between emotions, your nervous system, and even your skin
• How grief, when fully felt, is actually a profound expression of love
• The role of vulnerability in intimacy, connection, and authentic relationships
• Practical tools like breathwork, art, and music to help you safely release emotions
• Why emotional intelligence is vital to ending the loneliness epidemic, especially for men
• How conscious breathing (six seconds in, six seconds out) supports longevity and calm
💡 If you’ve ever been told to “toughen up,” “stop crying,” or felt ashamed of your emotions, this conversation will shift your perspective—and maybe even change your life.
