In this presentation, Angela Navarro will share her personal journey of overcoming trauma through emotional intelligence and how it transformed her life. She will discuss the struggles she faced with emotional regulation, impulsive decision-making, and the challenges of breaking free from cycles of trauma. Learning emotional intelligence allowed her to develop self-awareness, manage emotions, and build healthier relationships. She will explain how these skills not only changed her life but also influenced how she empowers others through Sweet Sisterhood, a survivor-led nonprofit designed to help women and their families build resilience and self-sufficiency. Angela’s goal is to show how emotional intelligence is more than just a concept—it’s a powerful tool for survival, growth, and leadership. Attendees will gain practical insights on how emotional intelligence can be applied in their personal and professional lives and how it can be used to create long-term positive change for survivors. Through her story, Angela hopes to encourage professionals to integrate emotional intelligence into their work, helping survivors navigate their healing journey with confidence and strength.
