Emotional Intelligence Is a Survival Skill | Tascha Just |

What if emotional intelligence isn’t a “soft skill”… but a survival skill? In this episode of the Founding Voices Podcast, Perry sits down with Tascha Just — nationally certified school psychologist, speaker, and founder of SEL Academy — to explore what happens when we stop trying to fix children and start redesigning systems. Tascha doesn’t work inside broken systems. She redesigns them. Raised at the intersection of Scandinavian, African American, and Indigenous cultures, Tascha learned early how to move between worlds. Today, she blends neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, ancestral wisdom, AI-integrated resilience tools, and youth-led curriculum design to create brave systems that actually work — especially for children who think, feel, and process differently. In this powerful conversation, we explore: • Why emotional intelligence is a survival skill • Why nonlinear thinkers are often mislabeled as “not adaptable” • What a truly brave educational system would look like • Why tests don’t measure real intelligence • How trauma and nervous system regulation shape learning • Why community, rhythm, and music may be part of large-scale healing Tascha challenges us to rethink education, intelligence, and leadership. And when asked what she would whisper into every human ear on the planet, her answer is simple: “You matter.” If you care about emotional intelligence, neurodiversity, trauma-informed education, brave systems, and creating a future that cannot be built in straight lines — this conversation is for you. 🌍 The Octopus Movement (‪@theoctopusmovement‬ ): https://www.theoctopusmovement.org/ 🧠 Founding Members: https://www.theoctopusmovement.org/fo... — Nonlinear thinking is not a strategy. It’s a way of being.
