#RaisedByHer

In this episode, Ro Nita and Donnica kick off the conversation with a poignant reflection on the 24th anniversary of September 11th, sharing their personal memories of that day.

The conversation then shifts to a deep dive into emotional intelligence, guided by a recent presentation Donnica gave on the topic. Using psychologist Daniel Goleman's five-component framework, they explore how self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills are not just business buzzwords, but essential tools for navigating everyday life. 

Join them for a discussion on authenticity, pushing past fear, the power of human connection, and Ro Nita’s proposed sixth component of emotional intelligence: Love.
