About this episode

If you’re like me, you probably went to school for 12 years, but never learned a key skill for connection and belonging – communication.

Many of my clients tell me they struggle to

· share how they feel because they fear their partner will be defensive.

· Stay level headed enough to understand the other person’s point of view

· Clearly communicate their needs

· Feel like their partner cares about their needs

Do you relate?

In this podcast, we will cover some of the answers to these questions, 2 communication struggles, and 3 tips for better communication.
