What if the emotions you've been carrying for years are keeping you from living fully?
In this episode, host Ginny Yurich sits down with author Laurie Davies to explore the powerful concept of emotional hoarding - the tendency to stuff away worry, regret, guilt, anger, bitterness, shame, and other difficult emotions until they begin to shape how we live. Laurie shares deeply personal stories from her own life, including childhood trauma, career mistakes, and painful family relationships, to illustrate how emotional clutter accumulates and, more importantly, how we can begin clearing it away.
Together, they discuss why most of our worries never come true, how to distinguish real guilt from false guilt, why forgiveness is one of the hardest, and most freeing, choices we can make - and how grace has the power to transform regret. Throughout the conversation, they weave together practical wisdom, neuroscience, personal experience, and biblical truth to offer hope for anyone feeling weighed down by life's emotional burdens.
Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, carrying old wounds, struggling with anger, or simply longing for more emotional freedom, this conversation offers encouragement and practical steps toward living lighter.
