Do your emotions ever get the best of you?
According to Brittney Connor-Savarda, emotions are energy in motion. If we learn to channel them properly, they can be a force for good. But if we don't, the emotional shrapnel can harm us—and anyone else in the line of fire.
So, how do we develop the emotional intelligence we need to be less reactive and build a more fulfilling life?
