Are you someone who prides themselves on being logical, or do you find yourself more in tune with your emotions? In this episode of The Grit Show, Shawna Rodrigues challenges the conventional wisdom around being logical by exploring the often-overlooked counterpart: feelings. Drawing from personal experiences with breast cancer and her background in social work, Shawna explores the balance between intellectualism and emotional expression. If you've ever felt stuck in your head when you need to engage with your heart, this episode is your guide to navigating the complex interplay between thinking and feeling. Tune in to discover why sometimes the most logical step is to allow yourself to simply feel.
