- How to process the Heavy Four emotions - Shame, Guilt, Grief, and Trauma
- Why "trauma" is more than you think: i.e. childbirth, a car accident, living through a pandemic
- How to make room for the Fabulous Four emotions - Happiness, Joy, Connection, and Empowerment
- Using the wisdom of the body to find hope in the darkness of addictions
- The process of moving from suppression to releasing negative emotions
- Breathing, meditations, and simple practices that help you get into a calm space
- How we can use hope, creativity, and gratitude to get through the pandemic
- Why knowing what we're grateful for helps us understand our values and what direction we need to go
- How creative expression gently engages us with emotions that may be too overwhelming for words
- The importance of storytelling and how it helps us to process our experiences and gain confidence
