The Sacredness of Emotional Intelligence

The Sacredness of Emotional Intelligence

What drives someone to seek a life guided by both emotional honesty and spiritual depth? This conversation between host Valeria Teles and writer–publisher Meg Colby circles around that very question, with plenty of warmth, humour, and a touch of mystery. Centred on Meg’s Emotional Intelligence Mastery series, the chat looks at how emotional skills can be learned rather than inherited.

Meg explains that she “didn’t grow up knowing how to name her feelings, tend to them, or… navigate the rich inner landscape that shapes how we love and who we become,” and shares how decades of trial, error, and healing shaped her work with women. Her message is simple: emotional intelligence is just as essential as intellectual intelligence, and if you had to pick only one to lean on, she’d say choose the emotional side.

The episode also touches on Meg’s books, including *From Emotional Intelligence to Sacred Wisdom* and *Mindful Women, Resilient Lives*, and how they grew from what she calls repeated “godsends”: a prediction from her spiritual teacher, a message from her late mother, and a sudden inner nudge toward the phrase “emotional intelligence”. If you’re curious about spirituality, you’ll hear Meg and Valeria talk about sacred wisdom traditions, intuition, soul lessons, and even Lemuria and the Pleiadians.

Meg’s vivid story of freezing on a cliffside in Kauai and being "saved" by a single plant adds a grounded, almost playful edge to the more mystical themes. This episode suits anyone in recovery or personal growth who senses that feelings, intuition and spirituality are tangled together. You’ll come away asking: what would change in your relationships, sobriety, and sense of purpose if emotional intelligence led the way?
