I recently had a revelation that one of my biggest fears in life is being misunderstood. As a teeny tiny child—the youngest of three born in three years—I was often told to stop being such a baby. I was called an actress—specifically Sarah Bernhardt—because apparently, I was the drama.

What I didn’t know then that I know now is that my parents regularly shutting me down was the fertilizer that helped me grow a thriving, flourishing system of emotional disconnection.

In this episode, I discuss emotional disconnection and my fear of being misunderstood. I describe how I was regularly shut down as a child and how I came to dislike Sarah Bernhardt, whoever she is. I explain the roots and impact of emotional disconnection and underscore how you can reconnect with the parts of you that were consistently pushed down when you were young.

“Start by noticing how you relate to your emotions. Connect to the you that’s real as opposed to the you that you’ve cultivated as the world piled its shit at you.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker
