About this listen
In this episode of Between the Sessions, we close out Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett with a deep dive into Chapters 10–11: Emotions at Work, and the book’s final call to action: Creating an Emotion Revolution.
We explore why emotions are the most powerful—yet most ignored—force shaping workplaces, leadership, and burnout. From emotional contagion and disengagement to compassionate leadership and organizational culture, this episode breaks down what the research shows and why pretending emotions don’t belong at work is costing people their health, creativity, and sense of purpose.
This conversation isn’t about being “nice” or avoiding hard conversations. It’s about emotional intelligence as infrastructure—the unseen system that determines whether teams thrive, fracture, or quietly burn out.
We also zoom out beyond the workplace to ask a bigger question:
What would change if emotion skills were treated as essential as technical skills—in leadership, education, healthcare, and service-based professions?
If you’ve ever felt drained by a work environment, struggled under emotionally unaware leadership, or wondered why “toughing it out” keeps failing people who serve others—this episode is for you.
