There is something we rarely talk about, weren’t taught growing up, and yet is guaranteed to:

• Maximize your happiness when times are good,
• Help you barrel through adversity when times are rough, and
• Thrive in your relationships.

And that is: How to grow your muscle of Emotional Intelligence. 

To illustrate how powerful this is, let me share something personal with you:

At one stage of my life, I struggled very hard with: 

• Depression
• Grief after the loss of multiple loved ones
• PTSD from my job as a firefighter, and 
• Chronic pain from a disabling injury

This led me to such a dark place that I had suicidal ideations. 

Yet now, I wake up almost every day with a huge smile on my face, and go to bed feeling happyAF, regardless of what life throws at me.

I'm able to easily handle any adversity (from big stuff like the recent loss of my mom, to little stuff like waiting in line for hours with infinite patience).

I also never lose my temper anymore, even when some A-hole cuts me off in traffic.

Plus, I'm able to teach my kiddos how their minds and emotions work, and how to navigate and process their difficult circumstances. 

I share all of this, not to brag or impress you, but to impress upon you what's possible when you grow that Emotional Intelligence muscle. 

And starting today, we're kicking off a series on how to do just that.
