Embracing Every Emotion: A Heartfelt Chat with Meredith Coviello Felice
Stop apologizing for how you feel. If you feel hurt in a moment, you're allowed to be hurt. If you feel angry, as all hell. Be angry. If you're sad, be sad. You don't need to justify it, you don't need to quantify it, qualify it. You just need to be.
