Emotional Intelligence for Critical Thinkers
In this episode, I talk about that one decision you regret not having made that could have changed your entire life for the better… or would it have been worse?
In segment two, what do you do when you lose the love of your life and realize you will never be happy again? Can you recover from losing “the one”?
In segment three, what filters do you wear that show you a world that isn’t really there? Are those filters serving you?

When you get angry, frustrated or upset toward someone else, how quickly do you recover? Would you like to recover faster and get into a better space?
In segment one, I go over the five questions you can ask yourself that might just bring you out of the bad feeling you’re in. For segment two, I share how you might be feeding the dysfunctions of others in your life. If you feed someone else’s dysfunction, they’ll continue to show up in a way you don’t like over and over again.
In segment three, I talk about commitment and how just because you signed up for life, doesn’t mean you have to see it through – especially if the person you’re with has changed the rules and isn’t keeping up with their end of the bargain.
