In this powerful episode, Dr. Payal Beri unpacks one of the most overlooked crises of our time: our inability to communicate with emotional awareness. From fractured workplaces to disconnected families, Dr. Beri explores why so many adults struggle to hold space for honest dialogue, and how this breakdown in empathy is costing us trust, progress, and connection.
Drawing from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, and real-world research, Dr. Beri traces the roots of emotional intelligence from Socrates and Buddha to the cultural awakening of millennials and Gen Z. She reveals how language, labels, and avoidance create emotional distance, and offers practical ways to restore authenticity, accountability, and compassion in the way we speak to one another.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why emotional intelligence is an ancient skill we’ve forgotten to teach
- How communication fragility fractures relationships, workplaces, and communities
- What makes clarity feel like confrontation in modern culture
- Why millennials and Gen Z are challenging emotional suppression
- Real-world models, like Denmark’s empathy-based education system, that prove communication can be taught
- Simple ways to bring intention, empathy, and honesty back into everyday conversations
Communication isn’t a talent, it’s a teachable skill that shapes the world we live in. Dr. Payal Beri invites us to slow down, reflect, and speak with intention, because the way we communicate becomes the world we create.
