Every mom wants to raise kind, resilient, emotionally aware kids—but what does that actually look like in real life, especially when we are still learning to navigate big feelings ourselves? In this episode, we’re talking all about raising emotionally intelligent kids—not through perfection, but through presence. I’ll walk you through what emotional intelligence really means (in mom-language, not a psychology textbook), why it starts with us, and the simple, everyday ways you can nurture this in your child without needing a parenting degree or a perfectly calm nervous system. We’ll explore: What emotional intelligence is and why it matters so much How your own healing and self-regulation shape your child’s emotional world Practical, connection-based tools to help your child understand and express their feelings Why it’s never too late to create emotional safety in your home A personal story about how I helped my highly sensitive son move through his anxiety Whether you’re deep in the toddler trenches or navigating the emotional waves of the school years, this episode will leave you feeling more empowered, more compassionate toward yourself, and more connected to the kind of parent you want to be. Because raising emotionally intelligent kids starts with giving ourselves the same grace and support we long to give them.
