<p dir="ltr">Some kids look "easy" because they're safe and supported. Some kids look "easy" because they learned to scan the room, manage the adults, and keep their real feelings out of the way.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, Dr. Marc Brackett sits down with therapist and educator Eli Harwood (Attachment Nerd) to talk about what secure attachment actually looks like in real life, especially in the moments that make us uncomfortable. If you've ever wondered why "calm" can be misleading, why certain emotions feel like too much, or why parenting can bring your own childhood rushing back, this conversation will stay with you.</p> <p>In this conversation:</p> <ul> <li>Why "easy" behavior can be a survival skill</li> <li>The difference between calming a child and silencing a child</li> <li>What "earned secure" means, and why it matters if you didn't grow up with steady adults</li> <li>Why fixing it fast can backfire when what someone needs is closeness</li> <li>A simple phrase that changes hard moments: "Reach, then receive."</li> <li>How to stay present with big feelings without minimizing, lecturing, or checking out</li> <li>What kids learn about emotions by watching what we do with ours</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Quote to take with you:</p> <p dir="ltr">"Take a sip of the feeling. Don't chug it down. The fix can wait. The relationship can't."</p> <p dir="ltr">About the guest:<br /> Eli Harwood is a licensed therapist, author, educator, and the creator of Attachment Nerd. Her work helps people understand attachment patterns and build more secure relationships with their kids, partners, and themselves.</p> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-c3b98fe6-7fff-1722-9dfe-db643153e2c2">Connect with Eli Harwood:<br /></strong></p> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-c3b98fe6-7fff-1722-9dfe-db643153e2c2">Website: <a href="https://attachmentnerd.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">https://attachmentnerd.com<br /> </a></strong></p> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-c3b98fe6-7fff-1722-9dfe-db643153e2c2">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/attachmentnerd">https://www.instagram.com/attachmentnerd</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Eli's NEW book: How to Deal with Your ____ So Your Kids Don't Have To</strong></p> <p><strong><a href= "https://www.attachmentnerd.com/books/how-to-deal-with-your-so-your-kids-dont-have-to?offer=pwyc"> https://www.attachmentnerd.com/books/how-to-deal-with-your-so-your-kids-dont-have-to?offer=pwyc</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Marc Brackett:</p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/">https://marcbrackett.com<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: <a href= "https://instagram.com/marc.brackett">https://instagram.com/marc.brackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">X: <a href= "https://x.com/drmarcbrackett">https://x.com/drmarcbrackett<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Facebook: <a href= "https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett">https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett">https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Marc Brackett's books:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://marcbrackett.com/permission-to-feel/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Permission to Feel</strong></a></li> <li dir="ltr"><a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/dealing-with-feeling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dealing with Feeling</strong></a></li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Explore Marc Brackett's work at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, where he serves as founding director, and learn more about RULER, an evidence-based, systemic approach to SEL developed at Yale that supports leaders, educators, students, and families in building emotional intelligence and creating healthier school climates.</p> <p dir="ltr">A special thank you to the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for supporting this webcast.

<p dir="ltr">"Feeling like you matter" often gets treated like a nice idea. Something soft. Something optional. In reality, it is a core human need, and when it's missing, the consequences show up everywhere, from disengagement at work to loneliness at home.</p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Marc Brackett sits down with journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Breheny Wallace on Dealing With Feeling to talk about what mattering really means, why it's not about ego or achievement, and how everyday interactions quietly shape whether people feel valued and able to add value.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>In this conversation:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">What researchers actually mean by "mattering," and why it has two essential parts</li> <li dir="ltr">The SAID framework and how it shows up in daily relationships</li> <li dir="ltr">Why disengagement is often a sign of pain, not laziness</li> <li dir="ltr">How life transitions can collapse our sense of mattering, and how to rebuild it</li> <li dir="ltr">Parenting for healthy mattering without tying worth to performance</li> <li dir="ltr">Intrinsic vs extrinsic values, and what they do to well-being over time</li> <li dir="ltr">Why workplaces that ignore mattering struggle with retention and productivity<br /> <br /></li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><strong>About the guest:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Jennifer Breheny Wallace is an award-winning journalist and the author of the New York Times bestselling books Never Enough and Mattering. Her work focuses on achievement culture, connection, and how individuals and institutions can build environments where people feel valued and able to add value.</p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Jennifer Breheny Wallace:</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-cc2862f5-7fff-812d-4d74-073ac9141754">Website: <a href= "https://www.jenniferbwallace.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">https://www.jenniferbwallace.com</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Marc Brackett:</p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/">https://marcbrackett.com<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: <a href= "https://instagram.com/marc.brackett">https://instagram.com/marc.brackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">X: <a href= "https://x.com/drmarcbrackett">https://x.com/drmarcbrackett<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Facebook: <a href= "https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett">https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett">https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Marc Brackett's books:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://marcbrackett.com/permission-to-feel/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Permission to Feel</strong></a></li> <li dir="ltr"><a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/dealing-with-feeling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dealing with Feeling</strong></a></li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Explore Marc Brackett's work at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, where he serves as founding director, and learn more about RULER, an evidence-based, systemic approach to SEL developed at Yale that supports leaders, educators, students, and families in building emotional intelligence and creating healthier school climates.</p> <p dir="ltr">A special thank you to the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for supporting this webcast.

<p>"Be patient" gets treated like a virtue in every system. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is the line that keeps unfairness in place, because it asks the people carrying the cost to stay quiet so everyone else can stay comfortable.</p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Marc Brackett sits down with Dr. Christina "Chris" Cipriano on Dealing With Feeling to talk about what patience looks like when it is wisdom, and what it looks like when it becomes compliance. They also talk about how to interrupt harm without turning it into humiliation.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this conversation:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">When "be patient" supports growth, and when it protects comfort</li> <li dir="ltr">Why "that's just how we do things" can be one of the most dangerous phrases in any system</li> <li dir="ltr">Calling people in vs. calling people out, and what each one asks of a leader</li> <li dir="ltr">What it means to hold urgency and dignity in the same moment</li> <li dir="ltr">A simple reset you can use when tension spikes and you still have to lead</li> <li dir="ltr">How to respond when you feel that stomach drop, but you cannot opt out of the room</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">About the guest:<br /> Dr. Christina "Chris" Cipriano is an Associate Professor at the Yale Child Study Center and the Director of the Education Collaboratory at Yale. She is the author of <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Be-Unapologetically-Impatient-Mindset-Required/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Be Unapologetically Impatient: The Mindset Required to Change the Way We Do Things.</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Dr. Christina "Chris" Cipriano:</p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://www.drchriscip.com/">https://www.drchriscip.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Marc Brackett:</p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/">https://marcbrackett.com<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: <a href= "https://instagram.com/marc.brackett">https://instagram.com/marc.brackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">X: <a href= "https://x.com/drmarcbrackett">https://x.com/drmarcbrackett<br /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">Facebook: <a href= "https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett">https://facebook.com/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett">https://linkedin.com/in/drmarcbrackett</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Marc Brackett's books:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://marcbrackett.com/permission-to-feel/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Permission to Feel</strong></a></li> <li dir="ltr"><a href= "https://marcbrackett.com/dealing-with-feeling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dealing with Feeling</strong></a></li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Explore Marc Brackett's work at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, where he serves as founding director, and learn more about RULER, an evidence-based, systemic approach to SEL developed at Yale that supports leaders, educators, students, and families in building emotional intelligence and creating healthier school climates.</p> <p dir="ltr">A special thank you to the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for supporting this webcast.
