We are living in a world that rewards speed, reactivity, and constant output. Women are praised for multitasking, staying “on” all the time, and keeping everyone else regulated while quietly ignoring their own nervous system. Mindfulness gets written off as a luxury. Emotions get labeled as weakness. And our bodies keep the score.In this episode, we sit down with Emily Hampton Morash, author of Unfunk Yourself, emotional intelligence educator, and mindfulness facilitator who is on a mission to help people get out of their own way. Emily brings equal parts science, humor, and tough love as she breaks down what is actually happening in our brains when we are triggered, flooded, or on edge… and what it really takes to pause instead of react.We talk about the hard stuff no one explains in leadership training: why our fear center runs the show, why “just push it down” never works, and how unprocessed emotions turn into physical symptoms, resentment, and burnout. Emily gives us practical tools to regulate in real time and reminds us that feeling our feelings is not indulgent. It is necessary for survival.We explore:Why mindfulness is not woo and not a luxury, but a strategic and emotional survival skillWhat your limbic system and amygdala are doing behind the scenes when you read that one-line email or textHow box breathing and simple pauses can shift your nervous system and your optionsThe cost of suppressing emotions and how they show up in the body, relationships, and leadershipWhy anger is rarely a “pure” emotion and what it often reveals underneathHow to notice your stories, assumptions, and judgments with less shame and more curiosityThe power of self-compassion, emotional awareness, and “being the llama among the goats” in chaotic environmentsThis conversation is for women who are tired of white-knuckling their way through work and life, who want to respond instead of react, and who are ready to treat their emotional world as data and wisdom, not a problem to hide.About Emily Hampton MorashEmily Hampton Morash is an author, workshop facilitator, emotional intelligence educator, and mindfulness educator.
