She discusses practical steps like active listening, asking thoughtful questions, adapting communication to others, and seeking new social experiences to grow social and emotional skills. The episode is a short, honest walk-and-talk about trying new things, practicing self-awareness, and choosing to step back and process emotions rather than react. More episodes will dive deeper into examples and exercises.
