Intentional Conversations with Robin May & Friends

Do you know your EQ?

Wait, do you even know what EQ is? It is your Emotional Intelligence (I sometimes refer to it as EI to make it easier).

Listen, many of us are MIND SMART, but sometimes our emotional intelligence is a bit shaky. But not anymore. On this episode of the podcast, I am breaking down what EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS and why it even matters to you!

During this conversation we talk about the TWO LANES of EQ and how it impacts your most significant relationships. Dive in and share your thoughts! Make sure you DM ME on IG (www.instagram.com/robinmayonline) we can chat!

Let's keep this conversation going!

Last Episode we laid the foundation for why SELF AWARENESS is your Secret Weapon. We talked about the Johari Window (check out the resources tab - see below), we had a "straight no chaser" convo about INTENTION vs the EXPERIENCE of others and we also discovered how a lack of self-awareness is hindering you.

Well, in Part 2 of our conversation, I am sharing with you the next 4 (there are a total of 6) reasons self-awareness is critical for your journey!

If you are wondering what is REALLY tripping you up on your journey, then this may be the conversation for you! Listen in, take notes and then let's chat about it! DM ME ON IG (www.instagram.com/robinmayonline)!

Okay. So admittedly this topic is probably my most talked about LIFE LESSON.

But hear me out.

I truly believe this is one of the most critical areas of focus if you want to curate a life that truly matters to you.

It is astonishing to me how so many people simply are limited in their self-awareness. And it is so unfortunate because a lack of self-awareness, quite frankly, limits your growth and deeply impacts your relationships.

And so, in this episode, we are breaking down the SIX REASONS SELF-AWARENESS is your SECRET POWER! This is Part ONE. Part TWO comes next week.

During this episode we are breaking down WHY self-awareness is so critical, HOW it is impacting you and your relationships, and we learn TWO of the SIX REASONS Self Awareness is your Secret Power.

If you are ready to truly elevate, this is the episode for you!

I know sis. I already know.

It almost seems like someone is living a "privileged" life when they talk about the need to slow down.

How in the heck are you supposed to SLOW DOWN when LIFE is so unbelievably demanding! I mean the truth is that your boss, your children, your family, your bills don't care anything about you SLOWING down. As a matter of fact, LIFE often DEMANDS that we stay on the fast track, with little hope of catching up or keeping up with all the demands.

But sis. YOU HAVE TO RESIST! Hear me sis....RESIST!

YOU ONLY GET ONE CRACK at this thing called LIFE and I don't want you to miss it chasing an unattainable "mark" or destination.

But again. I know it is tough - and so I got you sis. In this episode I am sharing with you FIVE REASONS YOU NEED TO PAUSE! I believe this will help you put the WORDS to what you KNOW in your HEART!

I always say Transparency is one of my super-powers. But honey it doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

In this episode, I am more open and vulnerable than I think I’ve ever been. I often share openly and freely, but more often on situations and dynamics that I have come THROUGH! But today…I share where I AM AS WE SPEAK!

Basically, I use myself PLUS two other people as CASE STUDIES on what it means to DO YOUR WORK!

You know we’ve heard that terminology time and time again…You gotta do your work. But honestly, most of us don’t even know what that really means.

During this episode I share the FIVE COMPONENTS of “Doing your Work”. But before I go there, I speak to where I know many women are currently on their journey.

So many of you (so many of us) have found great success in some areas…but if we are honest, there are some areas in our lives that are challenging and we can’t quite put our finger on what it is…well, now you can! Listen in on this episode to LEARN how to get the answer you’ve been looking for…

Y’all this was a vulnerable one for me…so make sure you let me know your thoughts!

Okay so maybe last week was NOT the conclusion of the matter on FRIENDSHIP THERAPY!

So, as I was wrapping up our series I began to think about all the questions I’d received on the topic of Female Friendships…and I just couldn’t leave you all hanging. So I opened up the floor for more questions and decided to dedicate this episode to answering those questions!

And when I tell you, the questions were SO good! Here are the questions I am answering:

• What changed my perspective about going to friendship therapy?

• How to navigate feeling left out by friends?

• Is it really true that your friends are a mirror for you to see you?

• Is it okay to only have one good friend?

• Is it okay if my grown daughters are my best friends?

• How do you find time for friends when your life is so busy?

• Is It okay for married women to hang out with single women?

• As an older woman and a widow is it possible to find new friends?

• My friend does not pick upon social cues! How do I set better boundaries?

• Is it possible to restore a friendship that has been broken?

• I don’t like my friends man! What do I do?

Baby, I had no idea that this episode would be so long, but honey these questions were on point, and I answered honestly!

In this Episode of “Intentional Conversations with Robin May and Friends” we continue our conversation with my big sis…my only biological sister (She wants to make sure we know that! Lol!) Kimberly!

We are in the middle of a series: “Friendship Therapy” and in the conversation with Kim, we are unpacking Conflict in Friendship.

During Part 1 we unpacked, in great detail, how Kim handles (or handled) conflict in Friendship. When you think of the concept of: Flight, Flight or Freeze, then you will understand that Kim definitely was a FIGHTER! Not necessarily physically, but definitely verbally.

Well, in Part 2…it’s my turn! During this conversation we discuss:

• The way I (Robin) have handled conflict in the past

• Why Kimberly admits that she would have missed out on a relationship with me, if we were not sisters, BECAUSE of the way I handle conflict

• How one approach is not “better” than the other. Just different…with its own consequences

• The benefit of TOUGH conversations and how I often missed out on the benefit because of my response to conflict

• How critically important transparency is in Friendship

• What it means for people to “BE FAIR” when it comes to unpacking their role in conflict

Yes, we discuss all of that and so much more in Part 2 of our chat.

And we really want to hear from you. How do you handle conflict, particularly in the area of Friendship? If you had to pick a team, after hearing both of our conflict perspectives, whose team are you on? Team Kim or Team Robin? What was your main take-away from our conversation?
