Gleaning Joy Through Inner Radiance: Kate Heartsong on Mind Over Matter

What if joy was never about avoiding pain, but about growing through it? The host talks with speaker and coach Kate Heartsong about why sadness and joy can't really exist without each other. Kate shares a simple breathing technique for calming down in the moment, why acknowledging a hard emotion has to come before releasing it, and a personal story about her daughter's long recovery that took her a decade to fully accept. About the Guest: Kate Heartsong is a speaker, coach, author, and Reiki Master based in Denver. She is the founder of Joyful Radiance and the author of Deeply We Are One and Humanity's Cry for Change. Key Takeaways: Joy and sadness can't really exist without each other, they define one another. Acknowledge a hard emotion before trying to release it, don't just stuff it down. A slow breath in for three counts, out for seven, can calm you quickly. Acceptance doesn't mean liking what happened, it means no longer fighting what already is. Speaking kindly to yourself in the mirror is a simple way to raise your mood.
