Description

Some people grow up wealthy in ways they never realize — not in money, but in emotional safety.

In this episode, we unpack the quiet, invisible privilege of being raised in an emotionally healthy family — and what it actually gives a person: regulation instead of reactivity, boundaries instead of fear, confidence instead of constant self-doubt.

We explore how emotional intelligence is formed in childhood, why it becomes one of the most valuable assets a human can carry into adulthood, and how far behind someone can feel when they were raised in chaos, ridicule, addiction, or chronic emotional abuse.

This is a conversation about:

• The hidden head start of emotionally mature parents
• Why emotional intelligence shapes relationships, careers, and mental health more than raw talent
• The grief of realizing what you didn’t get — and the strength it takes to build it anyway
• Why surviving dysfunction is not the same as being supported

If you were raised in emotional safety, this episode may change how you see your childhood.
If you weren’t, it may finally give language to something you’ve carried for a long time.

Because emotional intelligence isn’t loud.
It doesn’t announce itself.
But it may be the greatest form of generational wealth there is.
