Living and Leading with Emotional Intelligence

Brittney-Nichole Connor-Savarda wears several hats in the emotional intelligence space: she edits Emotional Intelligence Magazine, founded both Catalyst 4 Change and Generation EQ, and authored the book The EQ Deficiency. This podcast brings all of that experience together in a semimonthly interview format where she sits down with expert guests to talk through specific aspects of emotional intelligence in practice. Topics range from mindfulness and well-being to parenting with emotional intelligence, effective communication strategies, and performance under pressure. The guest list reflects the breadth of the field, pulling in therapists, educators, corporate trainers, and researchers who each bring a different angle. Connor-Savarda asks good follow-up questions and keeps conversations focused on practical takeaways rather than letting them drift into vague inspiration. The connection to Emotional Intelligence Magazine means the show often features guests who are actively publishing research or building programs, so the content tends to be current rather than recycled. Episodes run at a moderate length and the production is straightforward, letting the conversation carry the weight. The show is particularly useful for people in leadership or education roles who want to understand how emotional intelligence applies across different contexts, from boardrooms to classrooms to family dinner tables. The semimonthly release schedule means it does not overwhelm your feed, and each episode is substantial enough to stand on its own.
