How do emotions affect behavior? When you go on a podcast interview, understanding how your stories trigger emotions, and how those emotions do or do not trigger an emotional response is essential to how you persuade and influence an audience, as well as to how you connect, and build trust with an audience.

In this episode, you will learn why you should guide the emotional connection of your stories with positive emotions to attract the right audience.

Choosing to be vulnerable with your story means you have a great responsibility to guide your listeners through emotional impact on their  perception, as best you can.

And, especially if you're sharing any sort of healed trauma, as I do in this episode, you need to know all the variations in which your listener can and may respond.
