The Core Principles of Minding Our Own Emotional Business™

This is where the shift begins — and where the skills take root.


The training is built on five actionable principles. These aren’t just concepts — they’re tools you’ll practice, apply, and return to when the stakes are high.

Self-Awareness

 Notice what you're feeling before it hijacks your thinking. 

Self-Regulation

Choose your response — don’t react on autopilot. 

Strategic Empathy

 Care deeply with boundaries. Empathy should not equal exhaustion. 

Emotional Ownership

 Other people’s behavior can influence you — but it doesn’t get to decide how you respond. 

Re-Centering

 Build internal routines that bring you back to focus — again and again.
