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.

#36 - Getting Grounded in Your Goodness
One of the things that can trip us up on our personal growth journey is to force the process before we're ready.
I can think of so many times when I've been longing to master a skill that I was still practicing, and then criticizing myself for where I was at in the process.
In this week's episode, we discover that the remedy for conditioning that inhibits us and the judgment that comes when we long to be other than where we are is getting grounded in our own goodness.
Questions we'll answer today include:
- 2:35: How do I tell my AA sponsor that I want a new sponsor?
- 19:17: How can I stop being so hard on myself and become grounded in my own goodness?
- 35:48: How can I help a friend take accountability for the negative impact her actions have on those of us in the friend group?
