When life throws a curveball, emotional mastery isn’t about pretending to be calm, it’s about learning how to return to calm. In this second part of the series, Anna and Tim dive deeper into what it really means to regulate yourself when your nervous system is in overdrive. From understanding how emotions spread faster than logic to exploring why our reactions often betray what we “know,” this conversation gets real about the gap between theory and practice.

Join them as they unpack the science of emotional contagion, the power of breath, and how generational conditioning shapes our emotional lives. They explore how leaders set the emotional tone for teams, why calm is contagious, and how body awareness, sleep, nutrition, and movement become the foundation for mastering your emotions.

This Episode Covers:

  • Why emotions spread faster than logic in leadership and life.
  • The power of calm as your greatest advantage.
  • Generational patterns of emotional expression and suppression.
  • Understanding the vagus nerve and the polyvagal theory.
  • How breathing can rewire your stress response.
  • The DBT “PLEASE” skill for emotional regulation.
  • How physical care (sleep, nutrition, exercise) supports emotional mastery.
  • Simple daily practices to strengthen your emotional stability.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
