In a world filled with noise and distractions, tuning into our inner selves can be quite challenging. This week, we explore the concept of emotional awareness with Nataly Kogan, the author of "The Awesome Human Journal: A Toolkit for Every Kind of Day." It turns out that dedicating time to connect with ourselves daily, fostering love, curiosity, and introspection, not only deepens our self-understanding but also empowers us to nurture and guide ourselves effectively.   Guest Bio Nataly Kogan is a leading expert in emotional fitness and leadership. After coming to the US as a refugee from the former Soviet Union, Nataly went on to have a successful career as a technology executive. But she suffered a debilitating burnout that led her to find a new way to work and live. Today, she helps hundreds of thousands of Awesome Humans struggle less and thrive more through speaking, leadership training programs, online courses, books, and The Awesome Human Podcast.
