Podcast Episode 382: 8 Simple Words That Can End Family Fights with Tera Wages
Are you done with the emotional roller coaster? The meltdowns (theirs and yours), the silent treatments, the nagging feeling that you’re just not connecting? Trust me, we’ve been there, staring at our closet, wondering what to wear when our brain is already on overload.
But what if we shared with you simple emotional regulation tools for families that can actually end the drama in just four minutes a day? Seriously, four minutes! We’re chatting with Tera Wages, CEO of Connection Codes, and she’s got the secret sauce.
In this episode, you’ll discover her Core Emotion Wheel, an absolute game-changer for understanding those wild feelings that pop up. Think “Inside Out 2” but, like, for real life. You’ll learn that emotions aren’t “good” or “bad” – they’re actually signals telling you what you need. Loneliness? That’s your cue for connection. Hurt? Time to step away from the pain. And anger? Believe it or not, that can be your superpower, kicking you into action when something needs to change!
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- The truth about how our emotions drive everything we do
- A simple 4-minute daily practice to help you identify and communicate feelings effectively
- How one single question moves conversations from breakdowns to problem-solving
- Why joy isn’t always a positive thing…and that’s alright
