In this candid and revealing episode of Echoes of Home, Kelly and Jade dive into the often chaotic terrain of emotional hijacking—those moments when a trigger overrides reason, presence, and intention. Rather than focusing on refined emotional intelligence, this conversation looks at what happens when our emotions run the show.

They explore how inherited emotional patterns, unconscious reactivity, and survival-based behaviors can sabotage connection and distort communication. Through personal stories and honest reflection, they unpack how emotional outbursts often stem from deeper wounds—and how recognizing them becomes the first step in reclaiming inner power.

The episode also touches on the role of compassionate communication, the energy of kindness versus aggression, and the challenge of being perceived as “too much” or “too sensitive.” Ultimately, it’s an invitation to take radical responsibility, disrupt inherited cycles, and transform how we show up—especially when it’s hardest to do so.

In this deeply introspective episode of Echoes of Home, Kelly and Jade explore the often-overlooked territory of emotional intelligence - not as a buzzword, but as a lived experience that shapes everything from relationships to self-awareness to the energy we bring into a room.

Together, they unpack what it means to develop emotional integrity: the ability to name, feel, and regulate emotional states while navigating the somatic cues that often get ignored. From decoding nervous system responses in dating to distinguishing true emotional attunement from survival-based hypervigilance, Kelly and Jade reflect on how our inner emotional patterns influence how we connect with others - and ourselves.

The conversation flows through the science of frequency, the energy of color, and the vibrational nature of emotions, offering listeners a poetic and practical look at how to become more emotionally fluent in a disoriented world.
