The Truth About Emotions

The Truth About Emotions

By Deborah McPhilemy

Emotions, love them or hate them, express them or suppress them. For years we have been taught to ignore our emotions, that we need to keep a stiff upper lip, that cowboys don't cry, that we should apologise when we express sadness anger or when we cry! In this podcast I debunk all the rubbage around feelings and emotions. I aim to share with you the wonders, the powers and the messages your emotions are sending you. To share the reasons they exist:- to guide you to your purpose, to help you to connect, to keep you safe, and more. So join me and discover the wondrous world of your emotions.

How the lack of Self Love can Contribute to Suicidal Thoughts

How the lack of Self Love can Contribute to Suicidal Thoughts

The reason it's so hard for some people, children included, to love themselves and why it drives them to thoughts of self harm and suicide. I did go on a bit of a tangent here, but this is a topic so close to my heart. Suicide and self harm does not have to happen if we are raised being taught to, and teach our children to, love themselves.  Please reach out if you need to speak to someone, contact one of the organisations in your area or a counsellor or coach near you. If you want to learn how to love yourself and role model it to your children, then consider joining Selfie School - you can find out more about that here https://www.selfieschool.me

What happened that stopped me from being me?

What happened that stopped me from being me?

So many of us go through trauma and events that change us, that force us in a way to become someone we don't want to be. Initially we do this 'unconciously', as an act of survival and trying to keep ourselves safe.  The 'demise' of myself started at the age of 3.....

I'm finally ready to be ME!

I'm finally ready to be ME!

I'm finally ready to be ME! It's taken me 7 years to get here, but in my opinion you are never to old nor is it ever too late to follow your heart and live the life of your dreams! Not only have I started saying yes to me, but I am saying yes to life. I'm keen to truly find out what life is all about without all the stuff that has held me back until now. To stop resisting life and to discover what I like and don't like. To trust that God / The Universe has my back. To start taking action and taking the steps to make my dreams come true, to live life on my terms.

I committed SUICIDE and divine INTERVENTION saved me!

I committed SUICIDE and divine INTERVENTION saved me!

10 Years ago empowerment coach & speaker Jason Archdale felt as though he was living in hell, along with his three companions: fear, anxiety and depression. The night he tried to commit suicide he lay on his couch holding his daughters picture, and whispered "sorry darling, I love you, but I have let you down".   Jason managed to pull himself off that couch and changed his life's purpose in the process. He is proof that our reality is our decision, and that we just have to believe in what we decide. Jason changed his responses to his emotions and has been living an emotionally intelligent life ever since. He has prevented himself from lapsing back into that dark space he was in all those years ago. His strategy is simple: Instead of asking "why me?", he rather asks "what does this mean?". This enables him to find out what he needs to do to change his situation.

Jason reiterates that the universe does not give you what you need, it gives you what you are. You have to put the work in. "Everything is created twice, firstly in your mind and then secondly in reality". So if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. You have the potential to learn how to tune into the frequency of the life you want to live, and you can do this through Emotional Intelligence.   Simply put, a mindset is based on your beliefs, which adjust your frequencies, and therefore determine your reality. When you change your beliefs, you will also change your story. Energy and mind are all linked, and we have the science and skills to help you create a healthy mind and your dream reality.   Always remember that everything starts with a decision, and there is always a way!

Heather Prince opens up about getting divorced at 50. She explains how the hardest part was letting go of the the life she had spent 34 years envisioning.   Heather explains how a person going through heartbreak needs to do 3 things in order to heal: 1. Acknowledge the part they played in the ending of the relationship. 2. Reconnect with their sense of self. 3. Rebuild their relationship based on what they still have in common with their partner: their mutual love for their children.  Only once these three things have been successfully achieved can the heart truly start to heal.

I Met the Man Who Raped Me, and Then FORGAVE Him

Lois Wagner opens up about her rape story, and why her story was not well received. Lois wrote a book to help other people understand rape. She explains how there is now so much confusion about how to behave, how to be a gentleman, and what defines rape. Lois explains that we need to take a positive and productive attitude towards one another and work on communication.  Men need to understand femininity, and women need to understand masculinity. Only then will we be able to really relate to one another. How do we start understanding each other, and start letting people be who they are meant to be? 

We must develop SELF-AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING OUR EMOTIONS and MANAGING OUR EMOTIONS.   YOU HAVE GOT TO START WITH YOU! Becoming self aware will ensure that we learn to forgive ourselves, and can then forgive others. We need to break the bonds holding us back so that we can fly free.

Why EMOTIONAL Men Are MORE Attractive!

Why EMOTIONAL Men Are MORE Attractive!

Karl Smith, an ex military man, opens up about why men need to start talking about their emotions.   On August 4th 2006 Karl was having a beer when a car crashed into the side if his house. He went outside to help the driver, who was high on drugs, and ended up getting trapped under the car while trying to get the driver out. The driver reversed 60 yards while Karl was stuck under the car.   Karl explains how his physical body was healing, but his mental health was worsening. He had post traumatic stress after the accident, causing him to feel angry and eventually become suicidal. Karl discovered hypnotherapy, and used it to recover from the accident.  Hypnosis causes a kinaesthetic feeling within Karl, helping him release his emotions 

Men often feel as though they cannot share their emotions, and we need this to change! Men who do not share their emotions are holding themselves back in their personal and work lives. Deborah and Karl discuss the importance of making men feel safe to share their emotions, and how to get men to release their feelings in the future.

The TRUTH About White Privilege and Racism

The TRUTH About White Privilege and Racism

Megan Choritz helps white people in South Africa take responsibility for their white privilege. Megan explains how we can empower people of colour by becoming empathetic towards them. It is the responsibility of white people to understand people of colour, so that they can start to see white privilege and white supremacy through the eyes of the oppressed. If you are white it is your responsibility to lean into the discomfort, so that you can invite transformation into the world for yourself and others. 

Becoming EQ will help you see other people with empathy, and ensure that you become part of the solution to white privilege and help end systemic racist and white supremacy. All human beings need to be treated equally, and there is no better way to start than by becoming emotionally intelligent.

Why I No Longer FEAR Death!

Why I No Longer FEAR Death!

Jon Boyes discusses how Emotional Intelligence helped him overcome his fear of dying. He had a heart attack at 65 and developed an acute awareness for life, and the importance of living without fear.   Jon explains how we need to differentiate between feelings and reality in order to live without fear. Anxiety is a result of fear, and we can only overcome anxiety by letting go and living consciously. We need to accept that thoughts let feelings  in, and then we need to let those feelings out. We need to discriminate between thoughts that are useful and thoughts that we need to let go.

How to NOT Re-Traumatise Victims of Trauma

How to NOT Re-Traumatise Victims of Trauma

Saya Pierce-Jones speaks to us today about her experience in journalism and how she has learnt to approach victims of trauma in a way that will not make them relive their pain. Saying explains how the justice systems lacks empathy, and how journalists have the responsibility to tell a traumatic story without re-traumatising the victim.

Saya also delves into victim blaming, and how society often protects the abuser. She says, "the amount of false accusations about sexual violence pales in significance when compared with the truths that are being told, and truths that are not being believed".  This is such an important discussion that needs to be started.

The Other Side of Suicide

The Other Side of Suicide

Roland opens up about his depression, and how not seeing his children affected him mentally. He discusses the pressures and responsibilities of being a man, dealing with failure and disappointment, and how men have been programmed to define success.

Often we are ashamed to feel self-pity, but that is because we have low self worth . Learning to love yourself again starts with realizing your value. Every singe person is important, and the sooner we all accept this, the better our relationships will be with ourselves. There is no shame in feeling depressed, it is a natural human emotion. We need to normalise speaking about difficult emotions ,so that we can create a safe space for anybody to reach out and ask for help if they are struggling. Once we have created this safe space we no longer need to fear rejection, and our mental health issues will have the freedom to be voiced and resolved.

Do All Comedians Struggle with Mental Health?

Do All Comedians Struggle with Mental Health?

Chantal Jax opens up about using humour as a coping mechanism, and the impact that it has on our ability to deal with the root cause of our mental health issues.   Socially we all have the same issues, but just on different spectrums. Jax discusses why we are all scared to admit that we actually all have the same problems. She points out that we can only deal with our struggles once we start normalizing conversations about them. However there is always a dark side as "the person who says it first, when people are not ready to hear it, will always be the person who gets the most flak for it; but that doesn't make the statement untrue". Jax discusses the new post-Covid19 reality, and why we are so scared of facing ourselves. She explains that when we avoiding talking about our problems, we can develop anxiety disorders and mental illnesses.

Nicola Date bravely opens up about her experience with rape and how we need to redefine what rape means.
