What if the biggest parenting hack isn’t about your kids at all, but about you?
Kate Mason sits down with emotional intelligence expert Amy Jacobson to unravel the real power behind EQ in parenting, partnerships, and daily interactions.
Amy shares how understanding and managing our own emotions not only changes the way we parent, but quietly teaches those around us, especially our children, how to do the same.
From navigating emotional hijacks to handling teenage chaos, this episode is packed with relatable stories, actionable advice, and powerful mindset shifts.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, teen meltdowns, or even workplace tension, this conversation is your invitation to pause, breathe, and lead with EQ.
