Do you overreact? Try and guess what your partner will say next? Do you withdraw over conflict? Do you vocalise your desires?

Dr. Shyamala Kiru knew she had a book inside her. She sat down and thought about what was really (and we mean really) getting in the way of her female clients from excelling in their relationships, careers, and lives. She has written the book we all need. The book teaches us the skills we need to level up. 

The skills of emotional intelligence. 

With her debut book hitting stores this month, Shyamala and I share a deep conversation about our paths towards working on our emotional intelligence. We both share personal stories about our paths, describe practical tips for navigating hard conversations, and will leave you feeling like your emotional intelligence is something you can shape - regardless of the patterns you were modeled in your life so far. 

You can grab a copy of Dr. Shyamala’s book here, or wherever books are sold. Connect with her free content on Instagram @dr.shyamalakiru
