68. Understanding our Emotions with Marie Vakakis

Welcome to Episode 68 - Understanding our Emotions with Marie Vakakis Over the last few years, you may have heard more and more people talk about emotional intelligence. But what does this mean? Emotional intelligence is our ability to understand and manage our emotions in healthy ways. It sounds simple, but for many of us who were taught not to engage with our emotions - this can be hard. And it all gets harder once we become parents, as we battle our own emotions with that of our children.  Helping us to evolve our emotional intelligence is Mental Health Social Worker Marie Vakakis. Marie is the founder of The Therapy Hub, and is passionate about supporting people to improve their mental wellbeing by building strong relationships and connections.  Marie is also offering the Mindful Men community 20% off her Connected Teens course with this code: Mindfulmen20 If you love the episode, make sure to give the show a 5 star rating on your favourite podcast platforms AND subscribe to the YouTube Channel (Its FREE!!!)  If you're keen to check out the links mentioned in this episode, here they are: Website:     thetherapyhub.com.au Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/TheTherapyHubCounselling Course:  https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teens/ Good Enough Parenting: https://amzn.to/3mfbHad  For more from Mindful Men, check out the website at www.mindful-men.com.au ***If anything triggers you from today's episode, please reach out to your support networks or seek professional help*** Cheers, Simon
