Dr. Marc Brackett: Understanding Our Emotions

The Mindful Educators Podcast

Dr. Marc Brackett is on the podcast today and you are in for a real treat! He has not only influenced the way we teach and live but he is someone who has transformed our thinking in the area of emotional intelligence and learning. In this episode, you see our fangirl and fanboy emerge as we sit down and talk about his book Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive. Marc shares his early backstory and how his Uncle Marvin gave him permission to feel and how that shaped and influenced his life’s work. He offers insight into dealing with our emotions as we begin to think about the reopening of schools and returning to our new normal in education. Friends, this chat was not only insightful and helpful but at times, funny. Enjoy and please share with your colleagues and friends.
