In this authentic, off-script episode of Beyond the Box, Tamara Kellam reimagines resilience as a shared resource that emerges through relationships and collective experience—not a trait one either has or lacks. Drawing from both research and lived experience, she introduces four sequential practices of emotional intelligence—awareness, filtering, regulation, and facilitation—as pathways to greater emotional clarity and adaptability. Tamara explains how emotional filtering helps us distill real-time emotional signals from the noise of projection and story, creating the foundation for authentic emotional regulation and constructive expression. Through accessible examples and personal reflection, she demonstrates how cultivating these practices can transform how we respond to challenges—strengthening not only individual resilience but our collective capacity to thrive and co-create in times of change.
