• How to know when you are in a bad place in your emotional state.
• The power of channeling your emotions into something productive and beneficial.

• Why we are wired to ruminate about our feelings and what we can do to break that chain.
• The mistakes that we make when we are in a reactive emotional state.
• How you can create an easy “meditation” check in to steady your emotions.
• The dangers of judging yourself too harshly while you’re going through your divorce.
