The Global Academy of Coaching Podcast_Episode 6

Mar 15, 2026

What if feeling better wasn’t about fixing yourself
but about embracing all of you?

In this deeply personal episode of the Global Academy of Coaching Podcast, I share a moment of my life that changed everything for me — my journey through grief after pregnancy loss and the powerful shifts that helped me move from despair to peace.

Because the truth is this:

We’ve been taught that we should always feel happy.
But real emotional freedom begins when we allow ourselves to feel everything.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Why chasing constant happiness keeps us stuck
    • What science reveals about the brain’s negativity bias
    • How to process emotions using tools from the CREATE Coaching Model
    • And the powerful truth that nobody can make you feel anything without your permission

If you’ve been feeling heavy, overwhelmed, or disconnected lately, this episode may give you a completely new way of looking at your emotions.
