Just as an ordinary 'signature' serves as a distinctive mark of an individual's name on an item, situation, or event, our lives also leave unique "emotional signatures” on the ones around us
Emotional imprints are intricately intertwined with our internal character and personal experiences, shaping our responses and reactions to the world around us.
These emotional signatures are the sum of our joys, sorrows, triumphs, and tribulations, creating a mosaic of emotional patterns that define our individuality. They guide our interactions, decisions, and perceptions, ultimately leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of our lives.
In Episode 28 of The New Rules Podcast, we dive into not only what makes us unique, but how we leave our mark on those around us.
We’ll examine:
How Adrian’s wife, Wendy, provided relentless consistency in his life
How not being satisfied with life can help you make exponential progress
How ‘emotional signatures’ impact others - not just yourself
Why it’s your responsibility to understand your emotional triggers
The struggle of leading others in an unbiased way

In the midst of war, an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is strategically placed to cause physical harm toward an enemy.
In the same way, our traumatic experiences can plant “Emotional I.E.D’s” into our lives, without us ever being aware of their existence.
From childhood all the way through adult life, there is constant stress on us as individuals.
On top of ordinary pain, we are destined to experience some form of extraordinary hardship that forces us to confront reality.
These painful experiences plant Emotional I.E.D’s to ‘protect us’ - and now we must do the hard work of unearthing these dangerous explosives before they explode onto us and our relationships.
In Today’s Episode, We’ll examine:
• How Adrian is learning to overcome his childhood fears
• Why it is so easy to fall into ‘fear-centered’ parenting
• How emotional I.E.D’s explode on our lives if they go unchecked
