In today's conversation with Yarnie A. Darling, host of the podcast Yarn's Tales, we discuss emotions! Yarnie is a fantastic storyteller, and someone who is super conscious about raising emotionally intelligent children, and finding that harmony that comes from being able to identify, connect with, and honour our emotions as they come up.
We dive into societal conditioning and gender bias, generational shifts in emotional intelligence, and how we can make change around emotional intelligence in ourselves and our children. You won't want to miss this conversation!!
Hello! My name is Yarnie A. Darling. I am a Mother of 2, my son who is 6 and my daughter who is 16 months are everything to me! I am a high school Health, Anatomy and Bio teacher that is raising her children right now and so I have created Yarn's Tales. Life is hard, life is rough, I have been knocked around quite a bit and I have found the better I understand my emotions, how to express and regulate them, the better I feel while in the rough patch. Understanding Emotions IS KEY, so with that being said. I write children stories and tell my stories, while my son draws the cover art and my sweet baby girl runs in the back ground. I write my stories in hope to bring emotional awareness and connection to families (PARENTS) and children. My son has Muscular Dystrophy and his disability will take many things from him, but I KNOW, if my son understands and knows his emotions he will be able to process that loss in such a healthy and empowering way. Understanding his emotions will give my son so much ability, If my son can break emotions down, understand them and express them in his own unique way I believe he will gain an understanding of himself that is powerful, empathic, and unreal. It will ultimately change his life. My GOAL is to teach my littles to understand why we feel, what causes emotions, and how we feel and express them. That is ALL about my business (podcast) and my biggest passion.
