Conversations from the Heart
A weekly, soul-nourishing podcast offering psychologically grounded, heart-centered reflections on human relationships, inner healing, and compassion-based communication.
Focused on live mini-coaching moments to help callers shift from reactive, domination-based communication to collaborative, heart-centered connection. Listen for new scripts for stuck situations, new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express ourselves authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#57 - How Can I Get You to Be Real With Me?
We may be interested in living an authentic, honest life.
Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean those we're closest to are interested in doing the same thing.
The easiest way to encourage those around us to show up authentically is by ensuring we make that experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for them.
In this episode, we discuss:
- 2:31 My daughter rescinded her dinner invitation and my feelings were hurt, and I pretended it was fine when I was actually really hurt.
- 13:34 How powerful requests can revolutionize relationships
- 17:10 Behavior is coded communication
- 23:46 My grandson won't greet me
- 28:30 A script for gathering the data needed to move forward
