Awakening to Adulthood: Emotions, Lessons & the Journey Back to Self

Therapist and host Malisa Hepner, and Natasha Sattle, author of "Shit Adults Never Taught Us", dive into the complexities of adulthood, mental health, and relationships. Together they explore how childhood experiences shape the way we communicate, love, and protect ourselves, and how the body often reveals what the mind tries to ignore. Through honest reflection and personal stories, they examine the power of vulnerability, the importance of naming emotions, and the continual process of rediscovering who we are. This dialogue offers a grounded, compassionate look at what it means to grow up, wake up, and care for ourselves in a world that often asks us to disconnect.

Pause and practice emotional naming: Take five minutes today to check in with your body and identify one emotion you are carrying. Write down where it shows up physically, what memory or belief it's connected to, and one way you can care for yourself in response. This simple practice strengthens your mind-body awareness, deepens communication with yourself and others, and helps you move through adulthood with clarity instead of autopilot.
