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.

#72 - How to Get Comfortable With People Being Upset With You
One of the most important stops we can make on our healing journey is figuring out how to sit with uncomfortable feelings. Often, this will appear in the form of others being upset with us. In this episode, we discuss one approach to others' upset: the ability to hear the message even when couched in a clumsy delivery.
We consider:
- 2:00 How can I speak with a friend who's always on her phone?
- 9:22 The key to a difficult conversation? How to elicit more care for more people.
- 14:34 My daughter doesn't want to spend time with me and is often mean. What is a healthy response?
- 18:10 Can you hear the message and ignore the delivery?
- 21:59 Key practices when others are upset with us.
