Welcome to WHY DO I FEEL? a podcast that takes us on an emotional journey. We share stories to help make sense of our experiences and to know that we are not alone. In this series, real people talk about emotional turning points in their lives. How they felt in these moments, and how their lives were changed. We’ll look at each story through the lens of a single emotion, or at least that’s where we’ll start… but feelings aren’t that simple.
