What if emotional intelligence isn’t something we’re born with—but something we build?

In this episode of the So She Slays Podcast, we’re joined by Lori Woodley-Langendorff, emotional literacy expert, speaker, and co-founder of All It Takes, the nonprofit she launched alongside her daughter, actress Shailene Woodley and now runs with her son Tanner Woodley, the Creative Director.

We dive deep into what it really means to raise emotionally intelligent kids—while still learning how to regulate ourselves in a hustle-obsessed, emotionally draining world. From parenting power struggles to workplace emotional burnout, Lori shares tangible tools from her new book SEL Muscle Mastery that help both adults and youth build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and connection.

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or just someone tired of pretending to be “fine,” this episode is your emotional check-in.

Topics We Cover:

• Tools to help kids and adults self-regulate and manage emotions
• The hidden burnout of being the “emotionally mature one”
• How to model emotional strength without sacrificing your own needs
• Breaking generational cycles and raising emotionally aware humans

Most of us grew up with zero real education about our hormones, cycles, or long-term health. Just vibes and Advil. In this episode, we talk with Ally Tam, CEO of Respin Health (co-founded with Halle Berry), about the huge gaps in women’s healthcare, why perimenopause, burnout, and hormone shifts are so misunderstood, and how we can finally take control of our health before things spiral. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, exhausted, or totally out of sync with your body—this one’s for you.

For all things So She Slays.

Dating in 2025 feels like a part-time job with no benefits and we’re not the only ones who feel that way. In this episode, we sit down with magnetic matchmaker and relationship expert Spicy Mari to unpack dating burnout, sneaky links, and why so many women are over the bare-minimum energy that modern dating serves up.

From navigating situationships and hookup culture to reclaiming standards, self-worth, and emotional clarity, this convo goes deep and gets real.
