An online program helping BIG Feelers work WITH (not AGAINST) their emotions to design the life they’ve always wanted!
Your BIG feelings are the one area of your life you just can’t figure out.
Your whole life, people told you,
You’re too much, too sensitive, too emotional.
Why can’t you just…
Get over it?
Give the crying a rest…
Stop being irrational?
The thing is – you WANT to do all those things,
but you don’t know HOW.
Because you feel totally out of your depth w/your feelings, you:
— Shove ‘em back in the closet
— Bury yourself in work or yet another Netflix binge
— Judge the HELL outta yourself.
F~@&!!!
It’s MADDENING that you just can’t figure this out. You’ve done a LOT of work around this already!
— You’ve read EVERY book on how to “let your feelings go,”
— Had ALL kinds of therapy to “know thyself”,
— Done HUNDREDS of meditations saying, “imagine your feelings like leaves floating down the (F*CKING!) stream.”
Ughhh! NONE of them showed them exactly WHAT to make of the feelings that still stick around - making you feel like a big ol’ messy puddle.
You know feelings matter, but they still seem super mysterious. DANGEROUS, even…
Because what if the next time you open the door to feelings, they totally take over??
You deserve MORE.
〰️
You deserve MORE. 〰️
What if you could…
Know EXACTLY what to do with your feelings (besides falling into another shame spiral)?
Keep a go-to manual literally in your back pocket, so you know what to do when each emotion shows up?
Get interactive support with an expert so you stop fumbling in the dark and get them damn splinters?
You get to have your BIG feelings AND…
Feel totally ALIGNED with yourself
Cultivate rich, meaningful RELATIONSHIPS
Live out your lifelong PASSIONS
Wake up EXCITED to face the day (Goodbye dread!)
Go to bed FULFILLED, knowing it was enough to just be YOU today.
You’re one step closer when you join…
a 6-month program + community that transforms your BIGGEST feelings into your GREATEST superpower.
Hiya, Joanne here!
Think of me as Feelings Translator.
I spent my kid & teen years flailing through my own BIG feelings while trying to keep my shit together so that EVERYONE ELSE would feel better.
The one thing I aced was to keep my mouth shut, head down, and nose to the grind. I had a hard shell on the outside and sloshy guts on the inside that spilled out at THE worst times EVER.
Each buried feeling fed into an EMOTIONAL VORTEX that made my life & relationships a living hell. ONE small thing would pull me (+ those nearby) into a hot, sticky mess of god-knows-what feelings.
This x 20 years made me LOSE MY SHIT.
(Cue anxiety + depression + SO. MANY. years of therapy.)
…and therapy was a lifesaver. I learned:
my feelings weren’t BAD,
just MISUNDERSTOOD.
From there, I became a therapist who helps people know what to do with their BIG feelings, especially in relationships with those who don’t do feelings AT ALL.
I came up with a 3-step framework that helped me (+ many others) unravel our tangled ball of feelings as simply as tugging on a smooth ribbon.
And just like that - my Emotional Vortex lost its speed.
Triggers that used to knock me out for WEEKS would nowadays settle within a couple hours at most.
And just like that - I WON BACK all that energy + headspace to direct it anywhere I wanted.
This switch into my own FLOW State is what freed me up to:
— Do deep, rewarding inner work
— Revitalize my relationships
— Kick major ass professionally
…all because my own feelings went from being
a MAJOR LIFE SUCK to
a MAJOR LIFE SOURCE.
What would YOU do with:
2+ years of FREEDOM from your own Emotional Vortex
+
a lifetime of JOY & WHOLENESS from being in Emotional Flow?
Let’s get you there, pronto!

Here’s why DL joined within 30 MINUTES!!
Hi Joanne,
I wanted to try this program because I want to learn how to live authentically and for myself.
All my life, I have put others before me and I am burning out piece by piece. I often question whether the decisions I make are for me.
I want to be more in control of my life instead of living reactively.
I want to be proud of my emotions and feelings instead of ashamed.
I want to be more confident in my relationships and career.
I really resonate with everything on your website and emails and would love to work with you 1:1 one day once you have an opening—but for now I will start with this program.

Here’s what alum Carly W. says about Intelligent Emotions:
Joanne’s emotions course was where I first understood emotions aren’t “good” or “bad”. It was a game changer in seeing a bigger truth about emotions and how to use them to communicate our needs.
Her course was so helpful in understanding how emotions evolve, exploring where they originated, and knowing how to help myself out of the Emotional Vortex!
Who This IS & ISN’T For
Who’s ready:
You’re tired of repeating the same emotional patterns ad nauseum
You’re ready to roll up your sleeves to do the work to change your trajectory
You’re open to processing topics that might stir up uncomfortable feelings
You’re wanting to try some things that are outside of your comfort zone
You’ve done some personal work before, but don’t need therapy-level support (you’re great with self-paced programs!)
You have time, energy, & space to devote 30-60 min/week or 1.5 hrs/month towards learning + reflection + 1-2 hrs/month of optional live calls
Who is not (yet) ready:
You want to feel better RIGHT NOW and just want to throw money at the problem to make it go away
You’re looking for someone to give you the green light to break up with your partner, leave your job, etc. (Sorry!)
You want to put out the fires in your life but aren’t ready to find out what caused them in the first place
You’re in the middle of some crisis, like a breakup, job loss, or bereavement (maybe it’s time for therapy?)
You just want a better outcome but have little to ZERO time, capacity, or motivation do the work to get there
“But what if I can’t finish it all in 6 months?”
No worries! There’s NO WAY any human being can thoroughly take in all there is to know about feelings in the first go. Even as a feelings pro, I learned these over YEARS (and counting!)
Also, this kind of emotional work also involves, well…work! Some topics might stir up some BIG feelings that require you to slow down, take a break, and catch up with yourself.
That’s totally okay - it’s good for you to tune into yourself throughout this process.
Fortunately for you, this is exactly why you’ll have the safety nets of:
LIFETIME ACCESS to ALL of the online curriculum (forreal!)
A 6-month window of Live Support and Topical Calls that happen year after year from January to June!
You know how much people can get by in Europe with only a few Spanish vocab words they picked up in high school?
Even if you’re far from being super fluent, you can gain a TON from speaking the language of feelings, learning more vocab & grammar along the way.
Pick your path!
You might be in Team Rabbit, who prefers to quickly & lightly survey the whole terrain first, then circle back around to spend more time on what you’re most needing.
or…
You might be in Team Turtle, who prefers to go through the program at a deep, slow & steady pace, following your own inner timing while also really taking things in.
Whether Team Rabbit or Team Turtle, you are welcome here!

As a first-born daughter of an immigrant family with zero generational wealth, I feel ya…Money IS super important, and it’s a sore spot for so many people.
This is precisely why I made an online program instead of only working with people 1:1 at my $275 PER SESSION rate. I put 16+ sessions’ worth of content into this program for a one-time cost so that you wouldn’t have to break the bank. (That’s $4,400+ of value!)
Intelligent Emotions is definitely NOT A REPLACEMENT for therapy (e.g. this doesn’t treat trauma), but I just wanna provide an in-between alternative between 1:1 therapy and a book.
Time to do some math! Grab a sheet of paper, and jot down…
How many 1:1 therapy or emotional coaching sessions do you need to learn about:
Why you get stuck in your reactive emotional patterns (aka The Emotional Vortex)
How to do DAMAGE CONTROL in your daily life, relationships, and work (each of these can easily take 10+ sessions…which TOTALLY could have been AVERTED had you known…see below)
How you’re actually supposed to work with feelings (aka The Emotional Flow)
What each feeling MEANS about what you NEED
What YOUR emotional patterns are
What YOUR emotions say about what MATTERS to you
How to work WITH them so they work FOR you!
Multiply however many sessions (if you’re not sure, use 16) by the average therapist rate in your area.
Compare that number to…
A ONE-TIME investment of LESS THAN 3 SESSIONS with me gives you:
24/7 Online Classroom (16+ therapy sessions’ worth of content - $4,400+ value)
24/7 Online Community
An ever-growing library of resources for no extra cost!
12 Live Calls from January to June with me ($1,200 value PER YEAR)
Lifetime access to all online resources!
You still decide what works best for you! If this program still doesn’t work for your budget, check out the blogs!

Absolutely! Doing it with those close to you would make this experience much more meaningful, and it helps TONS for all y’all to use the same vocab and lingo!
If you have 2+ more people who are interested in doing this with you, shoot me an email at hello@intelligentemotions.com so you can all get a reduced rate!

The #1 thing people say when I lay out the steps:
“Why didn’t they teach us this in school??”

CONFIDENCE in your worthiness
CONNECTION with others around you

COURAGE to bring these BIG dreams to life!
What if you don’t cut away any part of yourself anymore, but instead feel WHOLE and FULL?
