In this unapologetically real episode, Julie challenges the popular narrative around emotional intelligence (EQ) — and invites you into a deeper truth. While the world celebrates EQ as a leadership skill, communication tool, or relationship superpower, we rarely ask the deeper question:What if emotional intelligence isn’t truly possible until we heal the wounds underneath our reactions?
Julie unpacks why EQ isn’t something you can perform or learn from a book or a two-day workshop. It’s something you embody — and embodiment begins with inner healing.
Drawing from her own personal journey and her work as a Rapid Transformational Therapist, Julie explores how trauma, attachment wounds, and emotional repression impact our ability to feel, empathize, and connect — with ourselves and others.
From the Shutdown CEO to the Narcissistic Leader, gender roles, parenting, and intimate relationships, she shares raw examples of how unhealed pain masquerades as professionalism — and how genuine EQ requires more than just surface-level awareness.
In this episode, we dive into:
✨ Why emotional intelligence without healing becomes performance
✨ How attachment styles influence EQ in leadership, relationships, and parenting
✨ The hidden ways trauma hijacks presence, empathy, and connection
✨ Why men and women often struggle with different emotional blind spots
✨ What healing actually looks like — and how it transforms emotional capacity
If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be more emotionally intelligent but freeze in hard conversations, shut down under pressure, or struggle to hold space for others — this one’s for you.
🧠💛 Because emotional intelligence isn’t learnt — it’s lived. And you can’t live it if you’re stuck in old patterns of conditioning, unresolved pain, and survival mode.
