• 89: The Emotionally Intelligent Way To Handle Conflict (without yelling and door slamming).

  Emotional intelligence isn’t about being calm, Zen, or turning into some emotionless monk who never gets triggered.It’s about knowing exactly what’s going on inside you before things blow up—and using that intel to stop fights before they even start.You know those moments when someone says that thing, and you instantly feel yourself getting defensive, angry, or ready to snap back with a killer comeback?Yeah. Been there. A lot.But here’s what I’ve learned: when you’ve got emotional intelligence on your side, you stop reacting on autopilot.You stop taking everything so personally. And instead you choose how to respond.In this video, I’m breaking down how emotional intelligence helps you in arguments, disagreements, and everyday drama, and how it can actually bring more calm, connection, and (let’s be real) fewer screaming matches into your life.So if you’re tired of being dragged into unnecessary arguments, feeling misunderstood, or just wish you could stay chill when everyone else is losing it—this one’s for you.🎁 🎁 FREEBIES:1️⃣ Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)2️⃣ Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources🌟🌟🌟Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 87: Who Are You Calling Soft?? Emotional Intelligence Is NOT About Being a 'Nice' Person.

  Have you ever been around someone who’s like, “Emotional intelligence is being all soft, sweet, and floating around in a cloud of feelings all day…” and you’re like, “Aww, that’s cute. NO.”Emotional intelligence is not about being calm all the time.It’s not about never getting angry, or letting your kids walk all over you.And it’s definitely not about sitting in a circle holding hands and talking about your feelings 24/7.It is about knowing yourself, managing your reactions, showing up with empathy, and staying motivated—even when everything’s a hot mess.And honestly? There’s still so much misconception around EI, especially in the parenting world.“You're raising snowflakes!”, “You must talk about emotions all day!” Umm. Who even has time for that?!So here’s the truth: emotional intelligence helps you make smarter, more efficient, more connected, more productive… like, everything you actually want.And it has nothing to do with floating on clouds or never saying no to your kids lol.If you’ve ever thought, “Am I just too emotional,” or “Everyone says I need to toughen up,” take a seat!!Emotional intelligence isn’t weakness—it’s power.Enjoy!🎁 🎁 FREEBIES:Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources 🌟🌟🌟Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 86: "Control Your Emotions" Is TERRIBLE Advice.

  I’m coming in hot with a truth bomb that might just flip your parenting, your self-awareness, and your whole emotional vibe on its head.Who's heard that we must learn to “control our emotions”? ME. A million times...Newsflash: This is TERRIBLE advice.Yep, I said it. So if you've ever gritted your teeth, stuffed your feelings down, or told your kid to “just calm down”, you’re not alone.We’ve all been fed this myth that emotional intelligence means being cool, calm, and collected 24/7. Like some sort of emotionless robot with a gratitude journal?! Ok then.But here's the thing: emotions aren’t meant to be controlled, they’re meant to be understood.Every feeling you have is like a little post-it note from your inner world.Anger? “Hey, your boundary just got steamrolled.”Anxiety? “Something feels off, look closer.”Disappointment? “You were hoping for something, and it didn’t land.”Emotions aren’t interruptions. They’re INTEL.So today, I’m diving into how emotional intelligence is actually about tuning in, not shutting down. I’ll show you how to listen to your emotions (without getting stuck in them), use them to guide better decisions, and teach your kids to do the same.Because once you stop shoving emotions aside and start decoding what they’re telling you?Everything. Gets. Easier.🎁 🎁 FREEBIES:Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources🌟🌟🌟Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.
