Listen "Your Tears Don't Need An Apology - They're Literally Healing You (Here's Why)"
Episode Synopsis
You know those full-body, can't-catch-your-breath, snotty, ugly cries? The ones that leave you physically exhausted on the floor? Yeah, let's talk about those. Because here's what nobody tells you: crying isn't you breaking down - it's how you break through. In this episode, I'm getting real about grief, tears, and why apologizing for crying is actually working against your mental health. Fresh off World Mental Health Day (and deep in my own grief journey), I'm breaking down the actual science behind why your body ugly cries—and why that's not only normal, it's necessary. You'll discover: What's actually happening in your brain and body when you cry (spoiler: your body is way smarter than you think) Why those gulping, gasping sobs aren't a sign you're losing it - they're literally cooling your brain The three different types of tears your body makes (and why emotional tears are in a league of their own) How crying physically flushes stress hormones out of your system What it means if you're a "highly sensitive person" (15-20% of us are - and it's not a weakness) Why resisting tears actually keeps you stuck in pain longer I'm sharing my own raw experience with grief - the morning floor cries, the wailing in nature, the moments where I literally can't breathe - because I want you to know: this isn't me falling apart. This is me healing. Whether you're grieving a loss, navigating a breakup, dealing with work stress, or you've just hit your limit - your tears aren't weakness. They're your body doing exactly what it needs to do. So next time you feel that lump in your throat? Let it out. Your nervous system will thank you. Ready to stop apologising for being human?
