Beyond Stress: Identifying Emotions and Building Resilience with Jillian Riddell

The Bite Size Podcast with Lorayne Michaels

Have you ever felt like you were carrying around an invisible "grief case," filled with emotional baggage that impacts your relationships? Join us as we invite Jillian Riddell, the insightful host of the Life Without Secrets podcast, to share her transformative journey from people-pleasing to self-discovery. Growing up as a secret in her father's life, Jillian's past shaped her need for external validation and led her to uncover the profound importance of self-awareness and emotional clarity. Together, we unpack the "grief case" to understand how acknowledging and addressing these emotional burdens is crucial for nurturing successful and meaningful relationships.
Explore the deep-seated wounds that can make or break our relationships, especially the pervasive feeling of not mattering. Jillian opens up about her struggles of living an emotionally separate life in her marriage, which led to seeking validation outside the relationship. Through her extensive therapy and education, she demonstrates how confronting and healing these wounds can lead to emotional clarity and improved well-being. We delve into the necessity of feeling seen and heard, and Jillian introduces a program designed to help couples navigate their emotional states and break generational cycles of trauma.
But healing isn't just about confronting pain—it's about building resilience and fostering positive emotions too. Jillian shares her innovative idea of creating an "emotional playlist" to catalog positive experiences that lift our spirits and renew our energy. We discuss the profound impact of managing emotions on our physiological states and overall well-being. Finally, Jillian offers ways to connect with her through social media, encouraging listeners to mention our podcast for a personal touch. Tune in for an enriching conversation on how to foster emotional resilience and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
