In this episode, Amy Gregory, an awesome elementary public school teacher who holds a PhD in Spanish linguistics, joins us for an authentic conversation about the beauty, power and importance of emotional literacy. At home and at school, emotional resilience is generated when children learn to honor their full spectrum of emotions. Emotional literacy gives us the freedom to connect with others and the power to walk with self-confidence. Every good parent wants their children to be happy. Emotional literacy gives us the capacity to increase our joy.

Tonight’s podcast was number #50!! While Michele and I wanted to jump and down with Joy for reaching the 50th episode, yet, we felt tender and wanted to revel in a space of presencing. So… we did. We shared two different types of meditations, one from fellow Joy Based Living member, Claudia Dose and Debbie also lead an embodiment meditation. They were both so nice! Talk about self-care. Please listen and feed your soul. Please note, if you are driving, you may not want to wait play this particular one. Just saying!
