On this episode I share my personal struggles with emotions. Growing up never being able to express myself openly and vulnerably, as an adult I struggle to communicate with others at times. This happens mainly when I'm upset or if I've had an argument with someone. I go into myself and become very quiet. I struggle to speak and it really affects me and others around me too. Thankfully it doesn't happen often and I am always working on improving it. I wanted to share my recent experiences and shed light on a topic many struggle with communicating. I'd love to hear from you so please leave your comments and feedback.
