Summary

Our friends at It's Been a Minute speak with Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy about their new book, Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. They explore seven emotions β€” uncertainty, anger, burnout, comparison, perfectionism, despair and grief β€” with hopes to normalize conversations on these "big feelings" and share what they've learned in that process.
