If you’ve ever said, “I’m fine,” when you were anything but… this one’s for you.

In this raw, honest conversation, Layne and Tess unpack the tiny, two-word lie that so many of us use to avoid what we’re really feeling.

Because the truth is, every time you say “I’m fine” when you’re not, you push your real self a little further away.

You’ll learn:

• How to feel it to heal it
• Why emotional honesty is the ultimate power move
• How unprocessed emotions get stored in the body
• One simple way to start feeling your emotions safely without getting stuck in them

This episode is your permission slip to stop pretending, start feeling, and finally owning your truth.
