  • Let's talk emotional intelligence (EQ).
    Trigger warning: Includes content about fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and childhood abuse.
    How a blessing in disguise led to walking through grief alongside my children,  and why it inspires my value for cultivating emotional intelligence in all children. I also share what supporting emotional intelligence looks like in practice, which I hope sparks a moment for you to think about how you can/can continue to do the same in your own context.
