Emotional Sandwiches:
The Word M.O.T
Changing your relationship with everyday words
If words could talk, have you ever wondered what they would say about your relationship with them?
“Our emotions talk to us and our reactions tell us how well we are coping”. SAN
The What, The How
& The Why
The Emotional Sandwiches concept offers a unique opportunity to identify and fearlessly explore your relationship with words, especially the ones that hold you back from moving forwards.
The Word M.O.T is the practical framework tool we use to help individuals and teams discover how everyday language can influence mindset, emotions, and behaviours.
The Results? Individuals gain a clearer understanding of how their everyday language shapes the way they think and feel, which in turn influences how they engage with others, creating healthier, more supportive team dynamics.

My Emotional Sandwich Selection and Gorgeous Excuses
Emotional Sandwiches are everyday words that can we can emotionally relate to.
We all have a MESS! (My Emotional Sandwich Selection) and it's how we tend to it, that can make the difference.
How you relate to a word in your language, after putting it into context for you, will be different from how other people will connect to it.
When do your reasons become excuses that get in the way of feeling healthier and happier?

What Our Readers Say About The Book
Did we have any lower ratings? Of course.
Some people wanted pictures, others wanted more exercises, and one even thought it was a recipe book. A few didn’t like metaphors, and a couple preferred shorter paragraphs.
The truth is, it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but it might be yours. Give it a go and see what unfolds for you.

I really enjoyed the way this novel was presented, and I appreciated the wisdom in every chapter. I believe Sarah tries to get us to look within ourselves in order to see the things we need to fix, instead of telling us directly what's wrong, which some novelists try to do!

I read this book a while back and I return to it now and again in order to pick up on the little tidbits of wisdom dotted into the narrative. It's conversational, despite the subject matter, and it doesn't mess around.
Is it a book for everyone? No. I think we're so used to having things presented to us in bite-sized chunks that we sometimes intimidated by large narratives, especially ones intended to take us on an inner journey. If someone can sit down and go with the flow, reflecting now and again on what's been said, I think this will help.

This book has some sensible and interesting perspectives on the everyday and how we could potentially reshape our thinking. There is a lot of linguistic play, pondering and visual imagery. The emotions in the book are not so much your emotions being affected but the individual emotions being turned into a character form, under the metaphor of being sandwich fillings.
As such, it's a relatively easy read if non-fiction is your thing. And it has a sense of character and humour. If you feel you need to shake up your thinking and most books on the topic seen daunting, then this is the book for you.

I picked this book as an ARC from Netgalley purely for the title. It's a fun exploration of words and gives you a new way to look at life. It's quite charming. I think with some of it I may need a re-read. There was a lot to take in but overall I quite enjoyed it and for once I've found an original self help book.
How do we deliver our
Emotional Sandwiches Framework?
A flexible tool delivered through our Totally Well-being webinars and workshops, with self-paced courses and coaching games currently in development, all designed to be accessible, practical, and easy to tailor for your team.
Side by Side
It also works well alongside The T.I.M.E Compass framework, as many of the everyday words explored in Emotional Sandwiches naturally appear when discussing the well-being themes in the T.I.M.E sessions.

Often, the limitations we face, real or perceived, are tied to words or beliefs that shape our reasons or excuses for not taking action. Using both frameworks together can bring greater clarity and momentum.
