sometimes climbing out of a bad mood feels impossible — but what if your emotions were just rungs on a ladder?

in this video you’ll hear me yap about the emotional guidance scale from Esther & Jerry Hicks, explained in Ask & It Is Given. this tool completely shifted how i handle low moods. instead of trying to pole-vault from despair to joy (and crashing into shame spirals when i couldn’t), i learned to move one rung at a time. i share how anger actually pulled me out of a depression after getting fired in 2022, and how noticing “small wins” in my emotions helped me rebuild my life in alignment with my values.
