<p>God knows I am no fundraiser. Actually, neither is my guest, Erin McQuade-Wright — at least, not anymore. Erin used to be a fundraiser for non-profits and even has a podcast called <a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-podcasts-trailers-for-new-and-noteworthy-shows/id1678032422">The Brave and Balanced Fundraiser</a> (which shares psychodynamic wisdom on how to survive that difficult job). But now she’s a coach who helps people of all types live vital lives. (Her company is called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vitalistcoaching.com">Vitalist Coaching</a>.) In this episode, Erin and I talk about our areas of overlap (hint: it’s a large region) and revel in our delight in talking about emotion work, healthy relationships, and the wisdom of psychodynamics.</p><p><em>Listen now on </em><a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teaching-through-emotions/id1589863153"><strong><em>Apple Podcasts</em></strong></a><strong><em>, </em></strong><a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1SHSUCix3g2TVeAUXlSFfg"><strong><em>Spotify</em></strong></a><em>, or </em><a target="_blank" href="https://pod.link/1589863153"><strong><em>wherever you get your podcasts</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong></p><p>We discuss</p><p>* <strong>Personality Types:</strong> Enneagrams and their usefulness in learning about ourselves</p><p>* <strong>Somatic Knowing:</strong> Brain vs. body knowledge and the half-life of an emotion</p><p>* <strong>Emotional Lives:</strong> How much emotion is allowed in a classroom?
