Being Different Together
Being Different Together explores the realms of relationship, entrepreneurship, and personal development through the lens of Real Dialogue, a set of principles, practices, and methods for healthy conflict as a means for growth.
In other words, just because we disagree, doesn’t mean we can’t get along.
Through this series, Nyssa and Kelly will bring their combined experience as holistic health practitioners to the table to share what they’ve learned through the process of integrating these skills in their lives.
This podcast is for all the people who want to make the world a better place and feel a little less alone doing it.
