Building Our Emotional Intelligence (so we can teach our teens!)

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the show! Thank you for being here!Today, we're having a conversation about emotional intelligence, teen brain development, and breaking generational cycles around managing emotions. Many of us who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s were never taught how to handle emotions—because our parents weren’t taught either. This lack of emotional literacy has impacted our relationships, parenting styles, and even how we process our own emotions today.We explore:✅ Why emotional intelligence matters and how it affects our relationships.✅ How emotions actually last only 90 seconds—it’s the stories we tell ourselves that prolong them.✅ Why men often struggle to express emotions other than anger, while women are labeled “too emotional.”✅ How societal expectations have shaped emotional suppression across generations.✅ Practical strategies for improving our own emotional intelligence as adults.✅ The best ways to teach emotional regulation to our kids, helping them develop strong, healthy relationships.If you’ve ever wondered how to manage your emotions better, teach your kids emotional intelligence, or stop the cycle of emotional suppression, this episode is for you.
