The best podcasts to Improve Emotional Intelligence and Better Our Relationships

We are a community and resource toolkit that promotes awareness, discussion, and education on how to better our interpersonal relationships. Pertinent topics include emotional intelligence, science and research, love and attachment, mental health and therapy, psychology, and personal growth and development. We have curated lists of recommendations and suggested resources that we believe would be helpful, plus original content of our own. Aside from having an online presence, we are also part of a local social group. Better Relationships Project (BRP) was created out of an essential need to understand the inner workings of healthy, fulfilling, and sustainable relationships. Research has shown that the key to happiness is determined by the quality and meaningfulness of our relationships. However, the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. After struggling with various facets of interpersonal relationships, I began my journey of growth and discovery. Seeking to understand the “why” and looking for essential tools to assist, I sought books, videos, audio clips, and any resources that were readily available. These materials were the initial catalyst needed to build this project. Combining deep introspection with lengthy research, I learned to truly appreciate the complexities that make up relationships and the framework behind them. Hearing stories and experiences of the challenges others were facing, I realized that many of us do not fully understand the intricacies nor were taught the necessary skills needed for healthy relationships. I started to recognize how repetitive patterns and behaviors can influence our expectations around relationships. In turn, these beliefs can affect the dynamics that we have with our partners, family, friends, and even colleagues. A common reason why relationships are so challenging is because of underlying emotional trauma and attachment wounds being brought and projected outward. Thus, I felt the resources that I was gathering were too important and valuable not to share. I created a list of useful media that shaped my path to having better relationships. It was a personal mission to choose this subject matter to inspire change and growth. Through a variety of informative and educational content, BRP’s vision is to use tools like relationship science to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the interactions that we have with others. What started out as a passion project has become a growing community where meaningful discussions on relationships can be made and fostered.

Interpersonal relationships are incredibly difficult, and the skills needed to sustain them are often not taught or neglected.
