    • Shame #FeelingsMatter

      Shame #FeelingsMatter
      Jan 21 2026
      In this episode of #FeelingsMatter, hosts Michelle Stinson Ross, Tina Schweiger, and Heather Hampton tackle one of the most powerful and challenging emotions: shame - that feeling of being self-conscious because you feel bad about yourself as a person, not just about something you did. The conversation explores how shame differs from guilt, the role of culture and religion in shaping shame responses, and why this "slippery eel" of an emotion can be so difficult to recognize and address. The hosts share deeply personal experiences with shame and offer strategies for building resilience against its spiral.

      Episode Highlights:
      • Heather explains the crucial distinction between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I'm a bad person because I did something bad"), noting she rarely experiences shame due to growing up in an atheist household without religious or cultural shaming mechanisms
      • Tina vulnerably shares how shame manifests as post-social anxiety, where she lies in bed ruminating and "looking for places where I should feel like a bad person," tracing this pattern to growing up in an authoritative household where shame was used for coercion and control, particularly around her female body during puberty
      • Michelle credits her encouraging upbringing in a religious household (but with supportive parents) for giving her resilience against shame, noting how behavioral mistakes were framed as learning opportunities rather than identity-defining failures
      • The hosts explore practical strategies for combating shame, including identifying adjacent emotions that are "safer to see" (like frustration instead of shame), reintroducing safety and curiosity to counteract shame's inward contraction, and practicing self-compassion
      • Michelle emphasizes building resilience to shame by creating habits of self-encouragement during good moments, telling yourself "you are smoking hot today" to have reserves when the inner critic attacks, and giving friends explicit permission to call out shame patterns and offer counter-narratives of truth and support

    • Supported #FeelingsMatter

      Supported #FeelingsMatter
      Jan 14 2026
      In this episode of #FeelingsMatter, hosts Michelle Stinson Ross, Tina Schweiger, and Heather Hampton explore the emotion of feeling supported - that state of feeling understood and upheld by others, knowing you're not alone in facing challenges. The conversation examines how support intersects with safety, trust, and belonging, why savoring positive emotions like feeling supported is crucial for building resilience, and how lack of support contributes to societal loneliness. The hosts share how their connection provides mutual support and discuss why this emotion belongs in the love category.

      Episode Highlights:
      • Tina describes feeling supported as experiencing belonging, safety, and trust simultaneously, noting physical manifestations like warmth in her heart, relaxed tension, better sleep, and increased gratitude and trust in others
      • Michelle shares how meeting with her co-hosts twice weekly provides an "infusion of energy" that she carries forward, describing how she's keenly aware when they miss time together and misses the support when it's not there
      • Heather reveals that feeling supported makes her "more daring, more bold" and willing to take risks, emphasizing the special magic of external validation even for self-confident people
      • The hosts connect the emotion of support to practical realities like government shutdowns that prevent people from "supporting their family," noting how losing the ability to provide support is heartbreaking and creates cascading effects on those who feel less supported
      • Tina explains her decision to place "supported" in the love category rather than neutral affect, arguing that feeling supported "blends right into the place of love" as an act and feeling of love, not something neutral or merely pleasant

    • Carefree #FeelingsMatter

      Carefree #FeelingsMatter
      Dec 24 2025
      In this episode of #FeelingsMatter, hosts Michelle Stinson Ross, Tina Schweiger, and Heather Hampton explore the emotion of feeling carefree - that state of having no cares or worries where things feel easy. The conversation examines how responsibilities and life stages affect our ability to experience carefreeness, whether this feeling can be intentionally cultivated, and how creative flow states might provide unexpected moments of being carefree. The hosts discuss practical ways to reverse-engineer carefree moments in adult life despite accumulated responsibilities.

      Episode Highlights:
      • Tina reflects on not feeling truly carefree since her late teens/early twenties during a brief period after finishing college before starting work, describing carefree as "having no responsibilities, nothing to worry about, nowhere to be, nothing to do" and wondering if it's possible to craft such experiences now
      • Michelle suggests that the stage of parenting significantly impacts carefreeness, noting how she couldn't feel carefree when vacationing with young children but now experiences it when traveling alone as an adult with grown children
      • The hosts explore "reverse engineering" carefree moments through mindfulness techniques like 20-minute meditation, mind-mapping to dive into problems without worry, or giving yourself permission to let your mind wander freely
      • Michelle observes that Tina likely experiences carefree moments during creative flow states when deeply engrossed in art or singing, even if she doesn't consciously recognize them as carefree in the moment because she's so absorbed in the creative process
      • The conversation concludes with the insight that cultivating carefree might be more accessible than chasing joy directly, offering a pathway to joy's "slightly different flavor" that feels more achievable given adult responsibilities - noting that "you have to work harder to find your happy feelings when you're older, but you can still find them"
