Fiona Love: The Kind of Love We All Need More Of | EP 22
05/16/25 • 19 min
In this deeply personal episode, Kim shares how she’s navigating grief after the loss of her beloved dog Fiona—by finding small joys, honoring her pain, and staying emotionally present through it all. With vulnerability and warmth, she opens up about what it means to process love and loss on your own terms, using her signature emotional recipe metaphor to help listeners reflect on how they manage their own emotional ingredients.
But at the heart of this episode is something even deeper: the power of unconditional love—the kind Fiona gave freely. Kim introduces the idea of “Fiona Love”: a simple, soulful reminder of the kind of love we receive from our pets and the kind of love we might want to cultivate more of in our own lives. This is love without conditions, love that comforts without needing to fix, love that simply shows up. Fiona gave it instinctively. And maybe, just maybe, we can learn to give it more intentionally—to others and to ourselves.
Whether it’s rubbing a belly, painting your nails with little flowers, or just allowing yourself to feel both joy and sorrow without judgment—Fiona Love lives in the little things. And the more we practice it, the more natural it becomes.
This episode is a gentle reminder:
✨ Grief is a balancing act.
✨ It’s okay to feel joy and sorrow in the same breath.
✨ It’s okay to grieve your way—not the way others think you should.
✨ It’s okay to be both a little broken and still beautifully whole.
✨ And it’s more than okay to lead with love—the Fiona kind.
Whether you’re grieving, growing, or somewhere in between, this episode is a moment of connection for your emotional palate.

How Emotional Granularity Builds Resilience, Connection & Clarity | EP 21
Ever say, “I’m just in a mood”... and leave it there?
Yeah. Same.
But here’s the thing—emotions are like flavors. And saying you’re “off” is kind of like telling a chef their dish tastes weird. Not super helpful, right?
In this episode of Flavors of Emotions, we’re exploring something that can change the way you feel—literally. It’s called emotional granularity (fancy term, powerful impact). It’s all about learning to name your emotions with more precision. Not just “good” or “bad”... but irritated, disappointed, relieved, or hopeful.
Because when you can name what you feel, you can actually work with it instead of wrestling it.
✨ In this episode, I cover:
- What emotional granularity actually is (and where it came from)
- Why having more emotional vocabulary helps regulate stress, improve decisions, and deepen relationships
- How developing granularity boosts resilience—and might even reduce doctor visits (yep, science backs it up)
- A sneak peek into the emotional granularity exercise from my upcoming Sensory Sync workshop
If emotions ever feel vague, overwhelming, or hard to explain—this episode will help you shift that. Grab your emotional tasting spoon and let’s dig in.
