Join Sounds True author Karla McLaren and Sounds True founder Tami Simon in a much-needed exploration of deepening your emotional awareness and intelligence in every aspect of your life.

Understanding our emotions can be hard! Many of us have never been taught how to work with our emotions, other than trying to avoid them when they’re unpleasant for us or others. 

Empathy researcher Karla McLaren teaches us a better way than repression. “All of your emotions are essential to your well-being. Each one brings you a specific kind of intelligence to guide your thoughts and actions.”

What You’ll Learn:

Empathic mindfulness practices to connect with yourself and your feelings, including Getting Grounded and Focused, Defining Your Boundary, Conscious Complaining, Burning Contracts, Rejuvenation, and more

Insights and practices for each of the 17 emotions—from anger to panic to joy

Questions to ask yourself to understand the message behind each emotion
