In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Marc Brackett (Author of Permission To Feel, Director of Yale's Center for Emotional Intelligence, and Yale Child Study Center professor) to talk about how childhood trauma shaped his emotional journey, some of the ways that the pandemic has impacted our emotions, and why we can use it as an opportunity to learn how to positively regulate our emotions.

Then we talk about what parents can do to help prepare our children to explore their emotions in a positive manner, why it's so important for parents to be in tune with their emotions to help their children, and what we can do to help prepare our educators for the changing education landscape.

Lastly, Marc talks about the importance of having Social and emotional learning (SEL) inside our schools and some of the benefits of investing in emotional learning. 

We also wanted to announce that our next book club read is going to be Think Again by Adam Grant on September 23rd.
