What if emotional intelligence was the quiet force that shaped a revolution?
In this post, we reframe Abigail Adams as more than a Founding Wife—she was a relational strategist, moral conscience, and emotional architect of the early republic. Through letters, insight, and courage, she influenced power without holding it.
Using the THX frameworks—12 Utilities, PERMAH, and the Admiration Equation—we examine how Abigail turned empathy into advocacy and presence into persuasion.
💡 In This Episode:
The THX Utilities she embodied: Emotion Evoked, Clarity, Access, Meaning
Traits aligned with cognitive and emotional divergence: high empathy, rhetorical brilliance, resilience under pressure
How PERMAH flourished through rich relationships, civic engagement, and grounded meaning
Why Abigail is admired not for ruling, but for revealing what power should serve
🧠 Frameworks in Focus:
12 Utilities: When emotion becomes a form of clarity and connection
PERMAH: Flourishing through family, advocacy, and intellectual partnership
Admiration Equation: How we revere those who bring moral truth to power
