Whether it’s anxiety before a big meeting, frustration in traffic, or sadness after a tough conversation—our emotions are powerful. But they don’t have to be in charge.

Join bestselling author of Shift and Chatter, Dr. Ethan Kross (recently featured on NPR’s Hidden Brain), and Kumanu founder and behavioral scientist Dr. Vic Strecher for a timely PurposeCast on understanding and navigating your emotional world.

Together, they’ll explore how to transform your relationship with your emotions—drawing on cutting-edge science, lived experience, and the power of purpose.

What You’ll Learn

  • Tools to help shift your emotional “weather” in the moment
  • How your senses, attention, and perspective shape emotional experiences
  • The science behind “chatter” and how to calm your inner voice
  • How purpose can ground and guide emotional resilience

Can’t make it live? All registrants will receive a recording after the session, and it will also be available inside Purposeful.
