Connection Doesn’t Require You to Shrink (165)

Have you ever wondered if it's okay to raise your voice or show big emotion when you're deeply upset—without damaging your relationships? In this powerful conversation, Tera, Dr. Glenn, and Phyllis dive deep into what it really means to express emotions like anger, fear, or sadness in a way that fosters connection instead of creating conflict. From breaking down the difference between acting through emotions and naming them out loud, to confronting the fear of “not being sweet enough,” the hosts unpack the beauty of emotional clarity and the science-backed power of saying emotion words out loud. This episode offers both raw vulnerability and practical tools to help you show up as your full, intense self—without shutting down or blowing up.Links and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.connectioncodes.co/cew-podcast⁠⁠Find out how to become a Certified Coach: ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coaching⁠⁠⁠Find a coach: ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/all-coaches⁠⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 - Kicking It Off: Big Emotions and How to Handle Them00:01:01 - What It Really Means to Express Emotion00:02:38 - Spoiler: We’re Not Here to Be “Sweet”00:04:13 - Why Saying “I Feel Angry” Can Change Everything00:06:12 - Letting Yourself Be Loud—Without Hurting Others00:08:45 - Anger Isn’t the Villain: It’s a Message00:10:47 - Teaching Respect Through Raw Honesty00:14:00 - When We Name It, We Process It—Together00:18:03 - From Suppressing to Sharing: A Personal Emotional Shift00:20:01 - Breaking the Fear Around Feeling Angry00:23:37 - Emotion Words = Human Connection Magic00:28:37 - Why the Core Emotion Wheel Is a Game-Changer00:34:23 - Final Words: You’re Allowed to Feel Fully and Freely
