You're Emotional...But Are You Emotionally Intelligent?

Ever wonder why we're so afraid of our feelings? The Era of Emotions has dawned, and it's revolutionizing how we understand leadership, connection, and what makes us uniquely human.

Emotions are our operating system—fear, grief, love, shame, anger—the features, not flaws, of being human. Yet most of us were never taught emotional literacy. We learned to run from, repress, suppress, vent, or explode our emotions rather than understand them. This avoidance creates profound ripples—anxiety, stored trauma, depression, identity confusion, and broken trust.

The sobering truth? Unprocessed emotion becomes transmitted emotion. Even when you think you're hiding feelings effectively, everyone in your energetic field absorbs them, especially children. This accumulation eventually becomes trauma that extends beyond individual suffering into our collective experience. War, environmental exploitation, and societal divisions all trace back to emotional illiteracy on a grand scale.

Emotional calibration—becoming what I call "the DJ of your internal world"—means learning to modulate your emotional landscape rather than silencing it. You're not turning the music off; you're mastering sound engineering, creating a mixtape that honors all parts of your emotional experience. This requires developing the capacity to pause and ask: What am I feeling? Why is this emotion here? What is it teaching me?

As artificial intelligence expands, our emotional capacity becomes our most distinctly human attribute. Emotions are our sacred technology—how we communicate with each other and the divine. The invitation before us is to stop fearing our emotions and start training them, with the mission of raising future generations that won't need to recover from what we were too afraid to feel.

Ready to transform your relationship with emotions? Listen now and discover why your feelings aren't the problem—avoiding them is.
