35. The Courage to Feel with Bela Crowder
What if the very feelings we’ve been taught to avoid are actually the path back to love, safety, and belonging?
In this conversation, I’m joined by creator/facilitator of The Embodied Heart, Bela Crowder, who guides and supports people into intimacy with self, presence, and the courage to feel. Together, we explore the difference between analyzing our emotions and actually being with them, how love is the most transformative force available to us, and what it looks like to live in devotion to the heart.
This episode is an invitation to remember your inherent wholeness and meet life with more authenticity, vitality, and love.
Join Bela at her in-person retreats in California and Kansas, USA, in September 2025!
