Ever wondered why some situations trigger such intense reactions in you? Or why certain people seem to radiate stress, anger, or anxiety? In this episode of Rebel Leader with a Heart, Murielle Machiels explores the concept of the emotional magnetic load—the accumulation of suppressed emotions that impact our well-being, relationships, and even workplace culture.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

✨ Emotions last only 90 seconds if we accept them—but suppressing them creates lasting stress.
✨ Repressed emotions drain energy and activate the fight-or-flight response, leading to burnout.
✨ Emotions are contagious—just like stress spreads in a toxic workplace, calmness and joy can too.
✨ The power of neuroplasticity—the more we repress emotions, the stronger negative patterns become.
✨ Breaking the cycle starts with self-awareness and emotional release techniques.

If you’re a leader, a parent, or simply someone striving for a healthier, more regenerative life, this episode will help you recognize emotional patterns and take the first steps toward emotional freedom.
