Listen "Emotional Intelligence: The Stoic Way"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis week, I'm unpacking a topic that has been a game-changer in my life—emotional intelligence. The truth is, how we handle life's challenges can often come down to one simple but profound idea: it's not what happens to us, but how we interpret those events that truly affects us. I'm sharing some personal reflections on how this plays out in real time, especially when the heat of the moment takes over. We'll explore how questioning our own reactions—while not always easy—can give us back our power and help us move forward with more clarity and peace. We'll also unpack the timeless wisdom of the Stoics—the Maesters of emotional intelligence. Zeno, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius each offer powerful teachings on how to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs. These philosophies have helped me not only on my Project Weight Loss journey but in the bigger picture of how I want to show up in the world. If you've ever found yourself feeling hot, irritated, or ready to throw in the towel when things get hard, this episode is for you.
