We brush our teeth and wash our hands, but do we clean out our emotions and tend to our emotional needs? Or do we neglect them, letting them pile up and get stinky like week-old dishes or mounds of mildewy laundry? Which causes more damage to yourself and loved ones, stinky armpits or a stinky disposition? What can you do to free up more of the true you?
In our second podcast, we explore the amazing experiences I and my mum had at a trauma healing and leadership workshop, such as what it brought to the surface regarding how we handle emotions, or maybe don’t handle emotions. We will explore the connections between unmet emotional needs, physical health, relationship health and personal fulfillment. Skya will also share his experiences learning to feel and making good friends with his emotions.
We address freeing ourselves and others from shame, awkwardness and socially induced hang-ups around the ways the body is designed to process emotion and release trauma. We will make a case for socially normalizing sane, healthy adults being authentic and transparent as well as crying and throwing temper tantrums in emotionally safe ways.
We also reframe vulnerability as a sign of big time bravery and strength. We want to send out a big dose of respect to all you vulnerable people, and those of you working on opening up! You’re making the world a healthier, more real and loving place.
We will also give you some practical things you can do to boost your emotional hygiene, with the very likely sublime side effects of experiencing greater love, joy and creativity than you ever thought possible.
This is a pivotal topic for anyone on a healing journey. As healing guides, we passionately share our knowledge about diet, exercise, mind-body practices and meditation, but we have found that the really juicy transformations begin when we realize that our emotional needs are physical needs and must be met for true healing to take root.
We’d be honored for you to take some time out and listen up… we’d be even more honored for you to comment below on how this landed for you, personally. As always, we are here to support you. You are not alone.

I really love this podcast! I feel like it gave an excellent explanation of some of the focuses at Avalon which I myself was unsure of how to explain to others. I am definitely sharing this podcast with as many people as possible. Thank you so much for doing this!
