Hello Feelers and Thinkers and those in-between. Welcome to Episode 9 of the Let's Get Emotionally Intelligent Podcast. I am your host, Dr. Phenessa A. Gray, the Emotional Intelligence Doctor, Author, certified Social + Emotional Intelligence Coach, DEI Consultant, and Workplace Culture Transformer committed to creating a more emotionally intelligent world one heart and mind at a time. I bring harmony to your heart and mind by sharing bite-sized emotionally intelligent inspiration to practice EI in your everyday lives and empower you to FEEL Better, THINK Better, and LIVE Better. Today, we're talking about our truth…our humanness…giving ourselves grace to be. We are called human beings for a reason, yet we focus too much on our performance. Probably because we are bombarded and indoctrinated with valuing doing over being. When being is accomplished, doing comes naturally and we can let life in and breathe more freely. This podcast is an extension of my speech at my sisterfriend, Traci Ross, and host of the 1st annual Woman Exhale: Girl Just Breathe Women's Conference. It was an amazing event and I'm looking forward to the next one. Now, are you ready to walk in truth, authenticity, and power? Now is your time and your moment.
