In this episode, I dive into the critical role that emotions play in our personal and professional growth. Growing up in a family and cultural environment that dismissed emotions, and later navigating a corporate world that valued intellect over feelings, left me emotionally illiterate.

Now, as a coach, I see how many successful yet self-doubting women executives struggle with similar misconceptions about emotions. This episode kicks off a series where I debunk nine common misconceptions about emtions. 

We’ll discuss how emotions are neither unimportant nor unprofessional, how logic and emotions complement each other, and why expressing emotions is a sign of strength, not weakness. I share personal stories, client insights, and practical tools to help you develop emotional awareness, process your emotions, and express them constructively.

Join me as we begin this journey to redefine our relationship with emotions—because understanding and leveraging them is key to building grounded confidence and become unstoppable in achieving your goals!
