123! Emotional Granularity and Getting Cheugy With It
How much room is there for emotional granularity at work? And what is "cheugy"? [35:05]
This week, special guests Katie Sadow and Ilana Bondell join Joey to talk about the connection between specific language and feelings, physical responses to emotions, the benefits of emotional intelligence, the inherent cringe of social media, generational earnestness and youthful pushback, and the metabolism of jumping the shark. They don’t talk about Selena Gomez's feelings.
