In this episode of EQaboveIQ, I'm talking about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I really think solving this will heal the entire world and set our children out on a healthier path. Cognitive Dissonance! Our brains' ability to seek harmony with who we think we are with how we actually behave. This is in every facet of our lives. Our beliefs have become incongruent with reality. So how do we protect ourselves and our children from this stepping stone to Narcissism? Let's start with not lying to our children every holiday season. Some of you are going to hate this episode! Really I'm not a grinch. I'm just saying some things that need to be said. Disagree? Please send me a message here. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Kari Sutton!

She deconstructs the research, so you don’t have to, and provides practical, easy to use tools and strategies that plant the seeds of resilience, and emotional wellbeing in our children. She has just launched her second book “Raising a Mentally Fit Generation.”

In this episode of EQaboveIQ, I am talking about clarifying your motivations in life and how to help your kids figure things out in a way that promotes critical thinking! Are you raising talkers or doers? Finally, who else is craving connection and human contact? It's time to get real with the health benefits of connection and the deficits of isolation. You are not crazy; you need a hug!

In this episode of EQaboveIQ, I am talking about using the SMART goal setting method with your kids, what is Cognitive Dissonance, and how to avoid it in ourselves and our children, and tips to squash negative self-talk through getting self-aware while having compassion for yourself. I really did a lot of processing through this episode, as I am coping with many major changes in my life. So as I say to my students and clients, "when I remind you, I remind myself." So, thank you for listening, and I hope you get as much out of this episode as I did!

In this episode, we are at the virtual EQ-Parent Roundtable! I spoke to Anne Terry, an 84 yr old mother of 9 and a grandmother of 23. Maria Dos Santos, a mother of two, Shelby Dines, a mother of three, and Erin Terry, a teacher who has chosen not to have children of her own but is a mother to many. Their experiences differ greatly, but there is one thing they have in common: their love of their children and how much they believe that Emotional Intelligence can help them parent and reparent their own inner child. This was an engaging conversation that I am sure you will enjoy!

Welcome to the second season of EQaboveIQ!  In this episode I am giving you my theory on how we got to where we are now and how the globalization of the Roman Catholic Church could be the likely source of the trauma felt all over the world. In order to solve the problems of the world we need to get to the heart of the emotions that created it. You need to know your past in order to create the pathway to your future.
