Most strong emotions feel like they will last forever. In reality, the intense part is usually a short wave in the body, then the mind keeps replaying it. Next time something hits hard, you can try this simple pattern: pause for a moment breathe in and out slowly stay with the sensation in your body for about 90 seconds Not to erase the emotion, just to let the first wave move through. If you took the next big feeling that shows up today and simply rode out those 90 seconds with it, what do you think you’d notice in your body afterwards?

Every week, I unlock the full 18-Day Emotional Intelligence Crash Course for the #1 spot on the 7-day leaderboard and today, we’re celebrating this week’s top member! Before I announce the winner, here’s a quick highlight from Lesson #25: This lesson breaks down the real impact of emotional validation in our relationships — how simply acknowledging someone’s feelings can shift connection, trust, and communication instantly. It’s one of the most transformative lessons in the course. Alongside the 28 lessons, each section includes a 5-question quiz to help you lock in the skills and track your growth. 🚀This full course unlocks at Level 4, AND I’m giving full access to the #1 member each week. ✨ This week’s winner: @Rachel Mobley — congratulations! You’ll receive full access to the complete EQ course starting Friday the 5th. How’s everyone’s progress in the other courses? Drop an update — I’d love to celebrate your wins too. 💛
