Description

Ally and Lexi dive deeper into understanding emotional intelligence with some real life examples of how to utilize the RULER method. This episode's focal question is "how can I actually use the RULER method?" They also introduce two tools often used for recognizing emotions: the mood meter and the feelings wheel.

FYI - Ally has since left the show and Lexi is now the sole host.
