I will give you some background information on emotional intelligence (EI or EQ), insight to my career, and how I got to this place of helping people identify, deal with, and modify their thoughts and feelings to live more fulfilling lives. My goal is to publish an episode for you every two weeks; please have some patience with me as I take on this new endeavor and get this rollin'! ;-)

Recommended reading:

1. Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Coleman (so you can get a more in depth picture of his work)

2. How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett (gives you an idea of how the brain works and how we really can retrain it to manage our emotions and react differently)
