Coming soon: Let’s Get Emotional – Emotional Fluency: Learning the Language of Feelings, launching through Own Your Bloom.

In this mini episode of Let’s Get Emotional, Tatiana Rojas explores why you can experience more than one feeling at the same time — and why mixed emotions don’t necessarily mean something is wrong.

Have you ever felt excited about a new opportunity but nervous about the change? Known you made the right decision but still felt sad about it? Cared about someone while also feeling frustrated, disappointed, or unsure?

Our emotional experiences are rarely as simple as we expect them to be. We often assume that a situation should create one obvious feeling, and when our reaction doesn’t match that expectation, we may start questioning ourselves: “Why do I feel this way?” “Did I make the wrong decision?” or “Shouldn’t I be happier?”

Tatiana explores how mixed feelings and conflicting emotions can coexist without canceling each other out. You can want something and still miss what you’re leaving behind. You can feel happy and nervous. You can understand someone’s perspective and still feel hurt. Learning to recognize these layers can be an important part of emotional awareness, emotional intelligence, and emotional fluency.

This episode also includes a guided emotional reflection to help you slow down and explore a situation in your own life where you may be experiencing more than one reaction. Rather than asking, “Which feeling makes the most sense?”, you’ll be invited to consider a more useful question: “Can more than one reaction make sense here?”

If you’re working on understanding your emotions, finding the right words for your feelings, or becoming more emotionally aware, this reflection offers a simple way to begin.

And if you find yourself thinking, “I wish I understood this part of myself better,” Tatiana also introduces the Let’s Get Emotional – Emotional Fluency: Learning the Language of Feelings course, created to help you better understand your emotional experiences and develop the language to describe what you’re feeling.

The course launches in September through Own Your Bloom. Follow Own Your Bloom on Instagram and TikTok to stay updated on the course and upcoming resources.
