This month, Jane welcomes Dr. Marc Brackett onto the podcast. Marc is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale and the author of the best‑selling book Permission to Feel.  

Content warning: this episode briefly discusses sexual abuse. 

Through his work, Marc brings an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that has been adopted by over 5,000 schools across the globe.  

Together, he and Jane explore the concept of emotional intelligence, what it truly means to give ourselves permission to feel at work and why learning to navigate our emotions more skillfully and authentically matters now more than ever.
