Let's Get Emotional
Hosted by Tatiana Rojas, LMFT, and Dr. Jennifer Martin-Schantz, PsyD, Let’s Get Emotional is your weekly guide to understanding what’s happening inside you. We define one emotion at a time, translate it into relatable language, and share a simple tool to help you build the words for what you feel.
Each episode explores one emotion at a time, including anger, grief, anxiety, shame, joy, fear, burnout, and emotional overwhelm — helping listeners build emotional awareness, emotional regulation skills, healthier communication patterns, and deeper self-understanding. Through research-backed insights, practical tools, and compassionate discussion, Let’s Get Emotional teaches listeners how to recognize what they’re feeling, understand why it’s happening, and respond in healthier ways.
Whether you're navigating stress, relationships, trauma, parenting, burnout, mental health challenges, or personal growth, this podcast offers accessible emotional education for everyday life. Episodes include practical coping strategies, body-mind connection insights, emotional vocabulary development, and the popular “Say It So They Get It” segment, where emotions are translated into language that works for kids, teens, adults, partners, and families.
Perfect for anyone interested in mental health, emotional intelligence, therapy,
self-awareness, relationships, trauma recovery, mindfulness, psychology, nervous system regulation, and personal wellness, Let’s Get Emotional creates a supportive space where emotions are explored with curiosity instead of judgment.
