"Big girls don't cry."

"Real men don't cry."

Grow up. Drop the macho, tough person act and give yourself some permission to actually feel sad. We get so hung up with wanting to feel good all of the time, and wanting to look composed, put together, and strong that any challenge to this is something we avoid and suppress, for fears of being seen as unsuccessful, or weak.

Sadness is not an easy emotion to face: it brings with it pain, and feelings of loss. It challenges us when we face it head on, and if ignored, it can fester, grow, and eat away at us. If you ask us, real weakness is running from our sadness, and not acknowledging it. It takes courage to face difficult challenges, and it is from these challenges that we grow and level up.

On this episode, we're going to talk about facing sadness head on, and what we can learn from it. The insight provided to us by our ever-growing Emotional Intelligence score tells us that sadness, like all our other emotions isn't something that we should ignore, but rather that it is something we all should be in touch with and look to learn from. We'll talk about some of our experiences with sadness, what we were able to learn, what tools we used to face it and how growing from it made us all stronger.

Like we say in our intro: It's dangerous to go alone, and we want to remind you that sadness can be a particularly difficult emotion to face without support. Don't be afraid to reach out, to seek help and support when you are struggling. There is courage and strength in recognizing the need for aid from another, and taking that first step of vulnerability. Let's all show some support and kindness not only to one another, but also to ourselves.
