How Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Can Change Your Life | Real Stories & Laughs 

This week, we’re breaking down emotional intelligence (EQ)—what it is, how it’s different from empathy, and why it might just be the most important skill you didn’t know you had. 🎯

We’re also sharing:
✔️ The Brockport Adventure – How we hijacked a college campus tour (and why Rebecca claims to have invented “Club Craze”)
✔️ EQ in Action – Real leadership moments where emotional intelligence made all the difference
✔️ Empathy vs EQ – Understanding the surprising difference between feeling for someone and understanding everyone around you
✔️ Laugh-Out-Loud Friendship Moments – Funny, messy, and totally relatable stories that will remind you why your friends matter

If you’ve ever felt like the person who “reads the room,” supported a friend in tough moments, or laughed so hard you cried—this episode is for you. Learn how emotional intelligence can transform your friendships, leadership, and everyday life while laughing right along with us.
