Learning the why behind the difficulty most of us have, specifically you in expressing your feelings, will go a long way toward changing your behaviors, and that's what this relationship with self that I tend to talk about is all about that awareness.

This realization can free us from the pressure of unspoken expectations and help us communicate more openly and honestly.
Lynn's approach is holistic, aiming not just for sobriety but for overall mental wellness. Whether you're someone who struggles with sharing your feelings or you're supporting someone who does, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips.
