Emotional Resiliency for Midlife

Old Chicks Know Sh*t Podcast

Many of us grew up in environments where we were not taught to express or manage our emotions. We learned how to stuff things down, put on a brave face and soldier on. And for many of us, myself included it worked quite well …until it didn’t. The transition into midlife with all its changes and upheaval can have a way of bringing things to the surface. And that’s actually a good thing.

Today on the podcast my guest is Dr Patrick Kilcarr, a therapist of 20 yers who specializes in Emotional intelligence. He is also the author of “Leading an Emotionally Intelligent Life.”

In this episode we explore what emotional intelligence means, how we learn it and the profound impact that it can have on both our personal and professional relationships.

We also delve into the consequences of suppressing emotions and it impacts on the journey of self-discovery and reinvention.

Some highlights of the conversation include:

• How emotional intelligence leads to personal and professional success.
• Why emotional intelligence requires self-awareness and understanding the root causes of our emotions.
• How we can choose our responses to emotions to empower oursleves to create positive change in our relationships and surrounding.
