Episode 187: How to embrace heartache, alchemize emotions, and harness vulnerability with allie michelle
Feeling your feelings can be really hard, but it's necessary for living a full life...and we can do hard things. This episode will help us learn to alchemize our emotions and, as today’s guest so perfectly says, “find the strength it takes to be soft.”
I called in the queen of turning pain into beauty: The wise, talented, and incredibly lovely @alliemichellel, who captures the depths of human emotion through her beautiful writing and spoken word. It can feel overwhelming to be a sensitive empath in the world today, but our sensitivity is our superpower, and our grief is just a representation of how deeply we love.
@alliemichellel is a 3x Best-selling author and spoken word artist. She's one of my favourite poets, and her new fantasy novel, Legends of Lemuria, comes out this February on @thoughtcatalog (but you can pre-order it now))! Allie runs Pen 2 Publish, a program to help writers create, publish and market their books, she co-founded a community for mental health and wellness called We Are Warriors, and she's also a certified meditation, breathwork and yoga teacher.
