Feelings...and Other Inconveniences

About Feelings...and Other Inconveniences

Feelings...and Other Inconveniences is our honest, curious, and sometimes humble look at the things we carry, why we carry them, and how we start putting some of it down. We're Sarah Dosanjh, psychotherapist, and Stefanie Michele, life coach—two women on our own growth journeys, exploring what makes us who we are. Inspired by Carl Jung's idea that "until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," we're on a mission to turn the light on inside ourselves—and invite you to do the same. Though we're very different in most ways (and you'll probably notice), we share deeply held values and a mutual obsession with personal growth. This show is a space where we'll share our stories and reflections with honesty, humour and heart. We're not here as experts with all the answers, but as fellow travellers figuring it out as we go—curious about why we react the way we do, what's beneath the surface, and how we can live more consciously, more connected, and more on purpose.

   22. We Want to Focus, But Our Brains Have Other Plans

   Why can't we focus anymore, even on things we genuinely want to do? We started with focus and quickly got into the messier question of what actually gets in the way of it. Because "just concentrate" is not especially helpful when your brain is juggling decisions, pressure, resistance, and a phone that can rescue you from all of it in half a second. We talk about procrastination, social media, decision fatigue, perfectionism, attention span, and why some tasks seem to require an unreasonable amount of psychological preparation before you can simply begin them. There's also quite a lot about writing books, avoiding writing books, deleting Instagram, needing accountability, and the inconvenient possibility that resistance is sometimes useful information. Basically: if you keep wondering why you can't just sit down and do the thing, we have spent an entire episode overthinking it for you.

   21. Boundaries: A Simple Concept Until You Try It

   What do we actually mean when we talk about boundaries—and why do they bring up so much guilt, confusion, and defensiveness? Stefanie and Sarah discuss the difference between people-pleasing and genuinely caring for someone, why a boundary can sometimes be a rejection, and how protecting ourselves can become rigid when we are first learning to say no. They also explore receiving other people's boundaries, knowing when to explain ourselves, overcorrecting after years of putting others first, and developing enough trust in ourselves to move between giving, declining, protecting, and participating with greater flexibility. more from Stefanie Michele: Emails Instagram YouTube Substack More from Sarah Dosanjh: Blog YouTube Groups

   20. Would You Rather Be Happy or Be Right: wanting other people to change

   In this episode, Stefanie Michele and Sarah Dosanjh talk about the exhausting and very human wish to get other people to change. What is the difference between having a boundary and secretly waiting for someone to become different? How do we know when we are naming something real versus getting pulled into a familiar fight? Through personal examples around family dynamics, guilt, defensiveness, justice, acceptance, and safety, they explore why certain patterns are so hard to stop reacting to — and what becomes possible when we stop making change the price of peace.
