In this episode of In Her Era, I sit down with Nerida Bint, an emotional intelligence coach, speaker, and founder of one of Australia’s largest women-only fitness communities.

After years in the health and fitness world, Nerida shifted her focus inward, helping people heal emotional wounds, break limiting patterns, and step into aligned, authentic leadership. Through coaching, mentorship, and her signature “Emotional Home” method, she empowers others to reconnect to their truth and thrive in all areas of life.

We dive deep into what emotional intelligence really means, beyond the buzzword. Nerida shares how suppressed emotions like shame, guilt, and fear often drive the stories we live by, quietly shaping how we show up in business, relationships, and even the way we talk to ourselves.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The true definition of emotional intelligence and why it’s not what you think.
• How to identify and process shame, guilt, and fear without spiraling.
• The concept of your “emotional home” and how it shapes your relationships and success.
• Why many high-achieving women confuse self-criticism with standards.
• Tools to reprogram your inner dialogue from judgment to self-compassion.
• How to sit with emotion for 90 seconds and move through discomfort with awareness.

“The truth is always felt in your body. Be kinder to yourself — that’s where every transformation begins.”
