Emile Steenveld: The Importance Of Cultivating Emotional Resilience | EP 12
Emile Steenveld is an emotional intelligence coach & an expert in human behavior with more than a decade of experience helping individuals break free from old beliefs and shed habitual patterns, so they can lead themselves more effectively in their lives with a sense of meaning and fulfillment.
Emile's journey into personal development took a unique path through his career as a professional fashion model.
Through his exposure to the competitive & cutthroat industry he came face to face with his own lack of confidence & fear of rejection early on. He came to realize his success in the business would need him to take ownership over his own insecurities and do the internal work that was necessary. And his journey required him to seek out how to communicate effectively, leave powerful first impressions and learn to carry himself with an embodied sense of confidence that is not solely an outward expression but is rather felt deeply within.
Having always had a curious and introspective nature, coupled with his deep desire to grow, Emile was introduced to the field of the self development
Naturally, he came to later transition full time into the personal development world, where he's made it his mission to help others with the challenges he had faced himself such as building confidence, regulating one's emotions, healing past wounds and communicating effectively.
Emile and I first connected after he attended our weekly breathwork circles and I just knew we had to come together to dive deep into topics such as emotions & human behavior.
What followed was a rich conversation where we cover topics such as healing the wounds from our fathers, the importance of emotional awareness and regulation, dealing with triggers, navigating the pitfalls of comparison, stepping into embodied confidence and many more.
This was a rich conversation where both Emile and I passionately shared about themes that are so close to both of our lives with the intention to provide as much value as we can for all you listeners. I can't wait for all of you to listen into this engaging dialogue between the two of us.
In this conversation we cover many topics such as:
- Emile's journey of being a professional fashion model
- His journey of discovering that he lacked emotional intelligence
- Healing severed relationships with our parents
- How we can release the grasp of perfectionism
- Why it's essential for us to cultivate emotional range to become more self-expressed
- How to navigate triggers
- What Emile learned about being a man within men's groups
- How we can release the mechanism of comparison
- How we can truly experience fulfillment
