About this episode
Tamara discusses how to name feelings without letting them define one's identity.
What if your feelings are pointing to something deeper, not defining something permanent? In this episode, I talk about how to name what you’re feeling so you can understand what’s going on in your heart and mind without turning those feelings into your identity. I explore why language matters, how emotions work more like signals than labels, and how to stop letting temporary feelings become permanent names. This episode is for anyone who feels emotionally overwhelmed and wants more clarity, more self compassion, and a healthier way to relate to what they feel.
