In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, we’re getting real about emotional intelligence. Rafer shares the moment he realized he was unintentionally gaslighting his wife—and how learning to name his emotions like “dismissed” and “anxious” saved his marriage and shifted his entire life.

Emotional intelligence isn’t soft—it’s survival. If you’ve ever shut down, blamed others, or got defensive without knowing why... this one’s for you.

Next week, we’ll dive into how to build emotional intelligence, but today we’re laying the foundation. You’ll walk away knowing why this skill matters in every relationship, decision, and goal you pursue.

✨ If you're ready to stop being reactive and start being emotionally grounded, listen in.
