What if your emotions are not the problem—but the guide you’ve been taught to ignore?
In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Jessica Lyn, an emotions mentor, artist, and creator of Sacred Interactions Mentoring, to explore a completely different way of understanding emotions, curiosity, leadership, and human connection.
Jessica shares why many people learn to distrust their emotions from childhood, how curiosity can become one of the most powerful tools for growth, and why learning to navigate your “emotional wonderland” can transform your relationships, leadership, and personal confidence.
The conversation also takes a practical turn as Lois asks for advice on helping her grandchildren navigate emotions, curiosity, winning and losing, and learning to embrace uncertainty. Jessica offers powerful insights for parents, grandparents, leaders, and anyone who wants to create deeper connections with the people they love.
The episode closes with a beautiful perspective on gratitude and how every object around us represents the work, effort, and support of countless people around the world.
If you’ve ever struggled with emotions, self-trust, vulnerability, or feeling connected to others, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical ideas you can apply immediately.
