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.

#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.
