Conversations from the Heart
Listen to live mini-coaching moments focused on helping people connect with themselves and others by speaking their truth with kindness and compassion, and listening through new filters. Get new scripts for stuck situations, hear new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and get 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 oneself authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#49 - When Belief Systems Collide
What do you do when you discover that a friend or loved one sees something in a polar opposite way to how you're seeing it?
Are you able to stay in a place of grounded, open curiosity, or do you find yourself getting worked up and activated, wanting to change their minds?
It can be very challenging to connect with loved ones when our belief systems don't match, or when our worldviews are colliding.
On this week's podcast, we tackle the hard work of connecting - with friends, with family - around hot button issues.
We discuss:
- 1:37 How can I connect with my parents who don't support my choices?
- 13:55 My best friend and I clash over Palestine
- 33:23 An NVC celebration regarding Human 101
- 39:27 Moving past the past
