In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Natalie Roitman for a powerful conversation about emotional intelligence—what it means today and why it’s more important than ever in our AI-driven world.

We explore Natalie’s personal journey in the field of emotional intelligence and reflect on how the concept has evolved alongside rapid technological advancement. Together, we unpack some of the most pressing questions of our time: Can AI support our emotional growth, or does it risk replacing something fundamentally human? How do we stay emotionally attuned and critically thoughtful when convenience is one click away?

This isn’t just a discussion about coaching—it’s about transformation. We talk about how emotional intelligence shapes our relationships, our leadership, and our sense of purpose. And we get real about the subtle dangers of emotional laziness in the age of generative AI.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional intelligence is a skill we must actively practice to stay connected—with ourselves and others.
• AI can be a tool, but it should never replace the depth of human connection.
• Coaching is about inner transformation, not just performance metrics.
• When we let AI do our thinking or feeling for us, we risk becoming emotionally disengaged.
• The way we use technology should be intentional—rooted in awareness, not avoidance.

This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself:
In a world full of noise and automation, how are you staying emotionally awake?
