New Wayz Podcast
The mental health and wellness podcast that’s as real as it gets — with a little humor and a lot of heart. I’m Christina Pehr, a certified life coach and registered nurse, sharing unfiltered stories, fresh perspectives, and lived experiences to help us grow, heal, and show up as our best selves. This is a no-judgment zone where we explore everything from emotional well-being to physical health, mindset shifts, and finding joy in life’s messiness. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes guests join with their own insights. My goal? To make mental health feel approachable, relatable, and even a little fun, while giving you tools you can actually use.

How to Communicate Better and Build Deeper Connections: Reflecting, Responding, and Being Heard
In this episode, we get real about communication — the kind that actually deepens relationships, pushes your life forward, and makes you feel genuinely seen instead of misunderstood. I share a personal story about a moment with a friend that completely shifted how I communicate… and honestly, it changed our relationship in the best way.
We get into what effective communication actually looks like, how to pause before you react, and why choosing honesty over ego will pull the right people closer — and expose the ones who just aren’t for you. And that’s okay. I also talk about what it’s been like to accept the people in my life who straight up cannot communicate, and how I stopped making that my responsibility.
If you want to communicate better, deepen your connections, or stop dealing with people who shut down, deflect, or get reactive the second things get real… this episode is for you. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it might make you rethink not just how you talk — but how you listen.
