When you have a conflict with your partner, do you react to what they're saying rather than respond?

In this episode, you’ll meet Mary Beth Luedtke, a licensed professional counselor candidate practicing in Grand Junction, Colorado. She is also a dear friend.

Mary Beth is here to talk about how our emotional intelligence impacts our relationships:

• You’ll learn about the “forbidden” emotions of our childhood and how those unidentified emotions turn into the “issues” that clog up our relationships.
• You’ll get a habit to help you become more skilled at emotional intelligence so you can recognize these emotions
• And, finally, you’ll hear how my world opens up as I practice this habit for you to hear.

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week's habit for your happily ever after is to become aware of your emotions.

Nuance helps enormously. How specific can you name your emotion? See how the specificity increases your awareness as you attempt to feel those emotions?
