Join Dr. Amy on this week's episode to learn how to "Feel Your Feelings!!"
And more specifically, learn how to feel ANY emotion. Even negative ones!
Learning how to feel and to process negative emotion is essential to a healthy life.
Negative emotions are part of life. Yet many of us try to avoid them, no matter the cost to our mental health.
In today's episode we explore the difference between resisting, avoiding and reacting to negative emotion.
Because when we do these things (avoid, resist, react), our negativity actually becomes all-consuming and we fall out of alignment with ourselves!
You'll also learn how to allow, process and accept negative emotion. This is an essential skill for a healthy life, because this is how we create peace within ourselves and learn to love ourselves again.
Come find out how!

Dare to Dream
Dr. Amy Grimm is a veterinarian, certified life coach, anti-burnout advocate and founder of Daring DVM Coaching and host of the Daring DVM Podcast. She is on a mission to reshape mental health in the veterinary field by inspiring others and teaching them how to create a healthy mindset and become resilient AF.
She has served in industry, public health, research, private practice, and was a Medical Director of a companion animal hospital for several years, before making the leap into entrepreneurship and coaching.
It was through her own struggles with burnout and life-work balance that Dr. Amy discovered coaching and realized the profound positive effects in her own life. Her own transformation inspired her to become a coach herself, so that she could help others who are struggling, just like she once was.
Today she coaches busy, burned-out professionals and helps them transform their lives and fall in love with their careers again. She also still does the doctory things she loves by providing HVHQSN and surgical relief services. Dr. Amy and her fiancé live in Grass Valley, CA. They enjoy everything outdoorsy, including backpacking, bike-packing, peak-bagging, running ultras, and racing on their tandem mountain bike. They share their home with their derpy Catahoula-Aussie-mix, Jake, and elderly entitled Pug, Berkels.
"I love who you are, and even more than that, I love who you are becoming.
Dare to dream."
