Ever thought a simple act like making tortillas could symbolize powerful emotional connections in relationships? Join me and my best friend, Belinda, as we dive into the roots of emotional intelligence, tracing it back to childhood influences and unpacking its role in today’s relationships.

In this episode, we explore the impact of past traumas, the importance of accountability in healing, and share personal stories of overcoming challenges like abuse and complex family influences. With insights inspired by Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart, we discuss expanding our emotional vocabulary and cultivating self-awareness to break generational cycles and redefine our emotional landscapes.

Preparing children for emotional intelligence is a central theme as we reflect on our journeys toward becoming grandparents. I also share my own experience of overcoming numbing behaviors like alcohol, shaping my approach to parenting and setting a resilient emotional foundation for the next generation. 🌿
