Once Upon a Conversation
Let’s talk about . . . talking! Conversations are the heartbeat of relationships and yet we so often avoid the sensitive, difficult, intimate, emotional and scary ones. We play it safe and bit by bit our relationships become less intimate, less real, and less satisfying. Join my guests and I, as we explore what makes intimate conversations so scary and why we avoid them. We will talk about how to prepare for them, initiate them and participate in them in ways that deepen intimacy, clarify misunderstandings, repair disconnects, and resolve conflicts. We can learn to bravely ask for change, express our feelings, apologize with grace, see things from new perspectives, and invite growth into our relationships. We can build, repair and deepen our relationships, one conversation at a time. We get personal on this show. We talk about conversations we regret not having, the ones that we are forever grateful we had, the ones we wish we had done differently, and the ones we are currently avoiding.I have spent the last three decades learning, practicing, coaching, mediating and teaching how to effectively approach difficult conversations and conflicts and I still get butterflies before a tough conversation!. Join me . . . and let's get talking!

Nothing left to say with Radhiki Lakhani
Radhika is an a lawyer turned inner wellness teacher and personal and business alignment coach.
In today's episode, Radhika talks about bringing unconditional love to her work.
"I love you when you're angry. I love you when you're sad. I love you when you're happy. Because I think as children, we didn't all get that. It was like, stop crying. Why are you so angry? What's wrong with you? Right? And we were conditioned to go, oh, okay. Those parts of me are not welcome. So as adults now, half of the work that I do not most of the work that I do with my coaching clients is being a space of unconditional love and holding them in the most highest vision so that nothing changes on my face, because I love them no matter what."
Radhika also shares her experience in sitting with her best friend and mentor in her final weeks.
"She said to me, is there anything you want to say to me? And I said to her, nothing I've never said before. And I said, what about you? Is there anything you need to say to me or want to say to me? And she said, nothing I've not said many times before. And I thought, what a moment to have. Because it meant that all along we were telling each other all the things we had already said. Everything. And I'm so grateful.
There was nothing left to be said because we had said it all. And so that would be my share with whoever's listening to say it now. Don't wait. Say it over and over. Make it so clear that if you ever had a moment like that, you wouldn't even need to say anything."
