Emotional intelligence (EQ) is more than a buzzword. It’s the quiet force that shapes leadership, culture, and connection. In this episode of the Power Of Women Podcast, Di Gillett is joined by Amy Jacobson, emotional intelligence and human behaviour specialist, keynote speaker, and author of The Emotional Intelligence Advantage. Together they explore how EQ is built, why empathy matters, the dangers of toxic positivity, and how women can embrace emotional intelligence to lead authentically.

You’ll hear:

- Why empathy is powerful, but also exhausting — and how to avoid becoming a pushover.

- How toxic positivity erodes trust and damages workplace culture.

- Why balancing IQ and EQ is critical in talent acquisition and leadership.

What if midlife wasn’t the crisis we’ve been taught to dread, but the revolution we’ve been waiting for?

In this powerful conversation, Natty Frasca—pleasure coach, rebel rouser, and founder of The Feminine Rebellion, shares why women so often “check all the boxes” of success yet still feel numb, burned out, or disconnected. We explore the neuroscience of pleasure, the myths around aging, and why reclaiming your power in midlife means owning your presence, your joy, and your unapologetic truth. This episode is for every woman ready to stop apologising for wanting more, to rediscover pleasure beyond the bedroom, and to walk into any room knowing she belongs.

We explore:

- What pleasure really means beyond sex and why most women are disconnected from it

- Why aging is not decline but a superpower of wisdom, sharper boundaries, and freedom

- How to own any room you walk into through presence, not performance

- Why visibility is an act of rebellion against outdated narratives
