When we talk about wellness, we usually focus on what we do—what we eat, how we move, which supplements we take. But there’s one part that often gets left out until it screams for attention: our emotional health.
When we don’t make space to process what we feel—stress, sadness, grief, overwhelm—it doesn’t just disappear. It gets stored in the body. And eventually, it shows up: as tension, burnout, anxiety, or even physical illness.
I know this from experience.
When my mom passed away, I found myself in a deep, dark place. Grief doesn’t knock. It crashes in and makes itself at home. Her passing stirred up layers of emotional baggage I had quietly packed away for years and years. Things that had nothing to do with her or her passing. I thought I was “handling it,” but the truth was—I wasn’t processing it.
During this time, I remembered a tool I had learned about but hadn’t used consistently—Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping. It wasn’t until I started practicing it regularly that everything began to shift.
Tapping helped me pause, feel, and heal. Through this practice, I was finally able to acknowledge what was buried deep—not just the pain of losing my mom, but old wounds I didn’t even realize I was still carrying. With each session, I felt a little lighter, a little stronger, a little more like myself again.
And now? I feel more equipped to handle whatever life brings. Not because life got easier—but because I now have a tool that helps me move through emotions instead of getting stuck in them.

Why Emotional Wellness Deserves a Seat at the Table
We often treat emotions as something to “get over” or “push through.” But true wellness means having the ability—and the tools—to work with our emotions, not against them.
Here’s the truth:
👉 Emotional health is just as important as physical health.
👉 Processing emotions doesn’t make you weak—it makes you resilient.
👉 You don’t have to carry everything forever.

What Is Tapping, and Why Does It Work?
Tapping is a gentle, easy-to-learn technique that combines acupressure with mindful statements. By tapping on specific energy points while focusing on emotions or thoughts, we help the body release stored stress and shift into a calmer state.
It’s like a reset button for your nervous system.
When I pair tapping with essential oils that support emotional healing, the effect is even deeper. Scent has a direct pathway to the limbic system—the part of the brain that processes emotions. Applying something like Valor, Stress Away, or Inner Child helps me feel more grounded, safe, and supported as I work through tough emotions.
