#137 Breaking Emotional Cycles: Teaching Emotional Literacy with Tera Brown

In this insightful episode of The Confident Mompreneur, Kyrie sits down with Tera Brown, an emotional safety mentor, to explore the power of emotional literacy and breaking generational cycles of emotional caretaking. Tera opens up about her journey into trauma-informed coaching, helping individuals, families, and entrepreneurs better understand their emotions and the impact of past trauma. She also shares her experience managing emotional caretaking roles within her own family and how she works to break free from that cycle.

Tera introduces the "domino effect," a concept she uses to explain how emotions are triggered by events, leading to reactions that can either be managed or spiral into unwanted outcomes. By teaching people to recognize the sensation in their bodies and the stories they tell themselves, she helps them pause and process emotions before reacting. Kyrie resonates with this, sharing her own struggles and personal growth in understanding her emotions, especially after past trauma.

The conversation covers how emotional literacy can empower individuals to navigate personal and professional challenges, including parenting, self-advocacy, and running a business. Tera's work emphasizes creating intentional space for self-reflection, using techniques like journaling, breathwork, and mindfulness to build emotional awareness.

This episode is packed with practical advice on how to break negative emotional cycles, manage stress, and use emotional literacy as a tool for personal and professional growth. Tune in to learn how understanding your emotions can help you build healthier relationships and become a more confident entrepreneur.
