| 0:33.7 | Hey, my friends, my Vibrant Happy Friends, welcome back to the Vibrant Happy Women podcast, where we are talking about emotional intelligence for ourselves and especially for our kids. A lot of moms have told me their kids are a little bit stressed out and frustrated and have some pent up energy. How do we as moms and parents help our kids |

| 2:19.6 | words like sad, mad, and happy. It didn't go really very deep. And if you think about all the |
| 2:29.0 | different feeling words that exist out there and they're all very nuanced, let me read some, |
