In this heartfelt conversation with Steve Ramona--Small Business Marketing Podcast Host and 40 Years Business Mentor, I share how emotional intelligence has transformed not just my work—but my relationships, my parenting, and the way I move through life.

We dive into the core of what emotional intelligence really means—why self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy matter more than ever in both our personal and professional lives. I speak about how the brain interprets experiences and how that creates the emotional responses that shape our behaviors. It’s a deeply human process, but one we can understand and improve with the right tools.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What emotional intelligence really is—and how it shows up in everyday life
• How to shift from reactive patterns to intentional responses
• Simple tools to deepen self-awareness and improve your relationships
• Why reframing your inner questions can unlock clarity and growth

Whether you're a leader, a parent, or simply someone wanting to deepen your connection to yourself and others, this episode is packed with accessible tools and real-life reflections on building emotional intelligence—one moment, one choice, one pause at a time.
