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.

# 58 - Can We Inspire Care from Others?
Love cannot be ordered up.
Care cannot be demanded.
If we want certain people to love us, or care about us, is there anything we can do to make that more likely?

- 1:36 The stove is broken. How can I inspire my partner to care about this?
- 5:25 The two levels in every conversation: Tactical and Relational
- 9:43 How to amplify another's good intentions
- 16:59 How to have an honest discussion with a friend group?
