About this episode

Ever felt like dropping a spoon might actually be the end of the world?** You aren't "mean" and you aren’t losing your mind—you’ve simply reached Max Capacity. In this episode of The Seaglass Perspective, we take a look at the invisible weight of emotional baggage. We often think of baggage as old trauma, but there is a daily version that builds up when we repress stress instead of processing it. From physical tension and headaches to sudden irritability and "crying at the drop of a hat," your body is telling you that your emotional cup is full. Join us as we explore why emotional expression is a sign of strength, not weakness, and learn practical (and slightly embarrassing!) tools to finally set those heavy bags down.
