  • Hi friends, it's Rosie here.

  • Welcome to Radio Headspace.

  • A few months ago, I found myself crying in the dairy aisle at Trader Joe's.

  • I wish I was kidding.

  • I was standing there staring at the oat milk when a wave of emotion just hit me.

  • Not about the oat milk, it was something deeper.

  • It was one of those days where everything had piled on,

  • work stress, family stuff, hormones doing their thing.

  • And I hadn't given myself a second to feel any of it.

  • As I stood there holding a carton of unsweetened oat milk,

  • and blinking back tears while pretending to compare yogurt brands, it hit me.

  • I am not okay.

  • And I haven't been for a while.

  • That's when I realized I was emotionally constipated, like full-blown,

  • spiritually bloated, feelings on lockdown, and I didn't even know it.

  • See, growing up I learned very early on that showing emotion wasn't safe or welcomed.

  • If I cried, it was, you're too sensitive.

  • If I got mad, it was, don't be so dramatic.

  • If I was scared, it was, you're fine, get over it.

  • In my Hispanic household, we didn't talk about feelings.
