Everyone is born with the first, and the latter is something you can develop.
As a 30-something woman, I seem to have been on a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. And I don’t want to stop!
I invited Dr. Zoe Shaw to return to the show to tell us what emotional intelligence is, how it differs from our emotional maturity, and how to develop as needed (and hopefully, desired)! She drops some truth and practical steps in this important episode! Tune in and share it with someone you love!
