Ep. 1 When Good Intentions Are Misunderstood | Emotional Intelligence in Real Life

What happens when your intentions are good, but another person understands them differently? In this episode of the Terranova Tribe 25 Podcast, Steph and Hellen share personal experiences and reflections on emotional intelligence in real life. The conversation explores how we manage emotions, respond to misunderstandings, practice empathy, maintain boundaries, handle disrespect, and rebuild trust after conflict. It also reminds us that emotional intelligence is not about ignoring our feelings or pretending that nothing affects us. It is about understanding what we feel and choosing a response that reflects our values. This podcast was created as part of our journey in the UPG Sustainability Leadership Class of 2026, where young leaders from different countries come together to learn, collaborate, and contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world.
