In this episode, Cali and Barb chat about what it means to be a good listener, and then they dive into ways to improve our listening skills. Spoiler alert! The first step involves learning how to truly listen to ourselves. Underneath all of the static and noise of our busy minds are our true thoughts and feelings. Once we learn how to listen to that quiet part of our brain, we can then listen more profoundly to others. And by listening, they mean listening without feeling the need to react or respond. The result is a conversation where both you and your loved one feels safe and heard.
