The Feeling Wheel
In Episode 8 of 'The Juggle is Real,' the mother-daughter duo delves into the metaphor of two inner wolves—love and hate—and the importance of nurturing the wolf of love through emotional intelligence and healing.
They share personal anecdotes, including a mix-up with Lululemon shorts, and utilize an emotional wheel to explore and transform feelings of anger. The episode includes a reflective discussion on managing emotions, framed by the concepts of 'let be, let go, let in,' and highlights choosing love over resentment.
It concludes with a biblical reflection on love's power to heal, referencing Proverbs 10:12, and invites listeners to join their community and tune into an upcoming gratitude series featuring another mother-daughter team.
