From Betrayal to Breakthrough: Kim’s Mental Health Journey Through Interoception

Kim Korte, creator of the Sensory Sync Method, joins us to discuss how understanding the "ingredients" of our emotions can transform the way we live, heal, and connect. From personal betrayal to emotional empowerment, Kim’s story is both relatable and transformative. She introduces listeners to the concept of interoception—our internal sense of emotion—and how to use it to reclaim emotional agency.

“We construct our emotions, and understanding the ingredients can give us autonomy over our lives.”
