  • Surprising Secrets from a Fashion Psychologist! | Interview with Dr. Yasmine Saad
    In this powerful conversation with renowned psychologist Dr. Yasmine Saad, we unpack a truth that’s rarely talked about: Negative emotions aren’t problems to be solved — they’re messages waiting to be understood. From childhood conditioning to emotional overwhelm in adulthood, Dr. Saad breaks down how our internal “fire alarms” go off when we’re out of alignment with our deepest values — like harmony, beauty, or connection. You’ll learn: Why pain doesn’t always mean trauma — it can mean misalignment How sadness is often a signal that you're not giving yourself what you truly need Why emotional intensity (especially in women and creatives) is misunderstood How to pause and decode your feelings instead of getting consumed by them Whether you’re healing, supporting someone else, or just trying to make sense of what you feel — this episode offers real clarity. Featuring: Dr. Yasmine Saad, licensed clinical psychologist & founder of Madison Park Psychological Services.
