Ep 25. Mastering Emotional Intelligence with Amy Jacobson

In this episode of Reconnect to Self, we’re joined by Emotional Intelligence expert Amy Jacobson for a conversation that will shift how you think about your reactions, your relationships, and yourself.

Amy unpacks what emotional intelligence really means...and it’s not about being nice, soft, or always calm. It’s about choosing how you show up, even when things get uncomfortable.

Together, we explore:

- Why emotional hijacks happen (and how to recover fast)

- How to face difficult conversations without losing yourself

- The real reason we avoid conflict (and how to stop)

- The difference between feeling your emotions and being ruled by them

This episode is a practical, energising guide to building emotional awareness that actually empowers your life, not just your work.

Whether you're a parent, a partner, or a leader, this one’s for you
