The Price of Unexpressed Emotions Episode 144, August 20, 2019

Husband, father, speaker, writer, coach, and trainer of men, George Stoimenov, shares the toll that unexpressed emotions took on his family, relationships, community and soul. Part of you dies when you aren’t free to express yourself.

“Depression is the opposite of expression.” ~ George Stoimenov
