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.

#34 - Making Peace With Pain
There's a big difference between feeling hurt and being harmed.
In this week's episode I start with a few recent realizations from my own life regarding hurt and harm, and then we move into the following questions:
- How do I respond to someone accusing me of gaslighting when the person remembers a situation differently from me? (8:40)
- How do I talk about something painful and convey what I need to be helped or move past it? (26:57)
- How do I connect with a person who is completely shut off? (35:39)
- What do I do when I’m unsure if I want to continue a relationship with someone I feel judged me? (38:36)
