Why EQ Matters More Than IQ | with Breanna May
Is the traditional education system holding us back from real success?
In this episode of Sh*ts F*cked, Paris sits down with Breanna May, former teacher turned CEO of The Mind School, to explore why emotional intelligence, mindset, and communication matter more than the grades we grew up chasing.
Breanna shares her decision to walk away from teaching and build something better, The Mind School, a space that prioritises self-awareness, shadow work, and EQ over outdated academic expectations. They dive deep into how limiting beliefs keep us stuck, how to start shifting them, and why emotional intelligence (EQ) is the foundation for both personal growth and healthy relationships.
Plus, Breanna drops one powerful tool she believes should be taught in every classroom and home, and how it can change your life.
