Navigating Change and Emotional Intelligence with Catri Barrett and Beth Ashley

In episode 7 of season 3, journalist and editor, Beth Ashley, is turning the mic on podcast host, founder of The Curiosity Club and Certified Life Coach, Catri Barrett  for the first time to ask her what she wishes she'd learnt in school.

In this episode, Catri and Beth talk about:

 

• The curriculum of life lessons that Catri believes would make the world a better place if we had only been taught it in school and how this prompted her to start The Curiosity Club

• Navigating grief loss and change, and how anxiety caused Catri to have intrusive thoughts about losing the people she loved
• The fear surrounding death in British and Western culture and why it would help us all to change our view on it
• The link between your thoughts and emotions and how to take them less personally
• The negative impacts of shame, how it manifests in people and how Brene Brown’s Ted Talk can help you let go of it
• The impact of childhood trauma on us as adults and the importance of resolving it
• How Catri had an identity crisis as a teenager that triggered a mental health crisis and caused her to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol
• The importance of prevention and not waiting until things are broken to fix them
• Unpacking why emotional intelligence is as import as Mental Intelligence and IQ
• How to stop fixating on things that have happened in the past and let go of anger and resentment
• Learning to better show up for yourself and how that can have a positive impact on the world
