Summary

Do you find yourself avoiding negative emotions at all costs, distracting yourself with food, Netflix, or your phone? What if you could build the capacity to feel any emotion, no matter how uncomfortable, and still keep moving forward? In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of microdosing negative emotions and why this practice is the key to becoming unstoppable.

Instead of pushing away the discomfort, we need to practice building safety around it, which is exactly what microdosing does. I’m walking you through how the microdosing approach helps you tolerate your emotions in manageable doses, so you can stop avoiding them and actually feel them as they pass.

I'm going to be very upfront with you all about how square I am. I have never microdosed a drug.

0:06.3

I've never microdosed shrooms, ecstasy, even GLP1s, whatever else people microdose these days.

0:12.5

Caffeine, sure, but that's more of a macrodose. But what I do know how to do is microdose my negative

emotions. And this one ability and habit has built my capacity to tolerate

0:23.4

any feeling that comes up. And that in turn has built my capacity to create any outcome that I

0:28.8

want in my life. So today I want to teach you this practice too, because when you are willing to

0:34.6

feel anything and you can feel anything, you can do anything. So let's get

0:39.7

into it. Welcome to unfuck your brain. I'm your host Kara Lowentile, master certified coach,

intimate group, and we have so many renewals that we only add a few people each time we open,

1:23.5

which is only twice a year anyway. So this was one of the times that we had some few lucky new

1:29.3

members who are meeting the group and just so beautiful to see how quickly they felt at home

1:34.3

and safe and comfortable because that is really the magic of being in community with women who

1:39.5

get it and women who are managing their minds. So everyone is just bringing like curiosity and compassion and

1:45.2

empathy to the table. Just a really beautiful special space. And it's so fun to go deep with each

1:51.0

of these women and get to know them and coach them over the long term. And we were talking about
