I used to roll my eyes at phrases like “feel all the feels.”

My goal was always to think my way out of problems, as issues were meant to be analyzed.

This reframe was one of the most helpful of my life.

For a long time, I thought emotions were the opposite of logic. Then I realized they can be a friend to logic, not an enemy of it.

I love this quote by Marc Brackett because it hits the nail on the head of why emotions are so powerful.

When we make choices, including financial ones, they often drive our behavior. That's one reason it's so important to learn about them.

What if I told you that emotions are one of the most useful types of data that you have?

If you're anything like I used to be, you'd probably think I was a lunatic. That's okay 🤣
