In this podcast we discuss social emotional skills such as emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and resilience, along with practical self care ideas. I provide both a biblical perspective and current research on the benefits of incorporating these skills in your life to improve relationships and well-being. 

In this episode we discuss fear-based thoughts and how they can morph into self-sabotage and more ideas on where fear-based thoughts come from. Finally, I’ll propose solutions for overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors.

Bible verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
