What's the point of feeling bad?

Can't we just move on?

It's always tempting to bury our difficult or painful experiences, and move on from them as quickly as possible. But in today's episode, Gloria and Jordan discuss why it's important to pause, and sit with these memories a bit longer. Not only does that help us process how these moments impact us, but it also allows us to move forward in a healthier way.  -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.

Can't we just stop fighting?

Gloria and Jordan discuss how fighting — whether it be with a partner, a friend, or a family member — can actually be a very useful therapeutic tool. Sometimes, arguing turns into a kind of competition, with a winner and a loser at the end. But these moments of friction can also reveal important things about ourselves and our loved ones, which, in turn, help us build stronger relationships in the future.  -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.
