In this episode I share an incredibly simple yet profoundly effective technique for helping your loved ones feel more understood by you. Taking nods from Stephen Covey's book "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People", I break down the process of empathic listening and share a personal story of how a recent family therapy session led to a breakthrough in understanding.
As Ralph Nichols put it “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.”
Today’s episode kicks off a brand new season of the Having It A.L.L. podcast!
On this episode I’m sharing one profound lesson and breakthrough stemming from a family therapy conference call I attended this past week with my sisters and father. I’m getting very personal on this episode because I believe that so many people can relate to the situation my family is experiencing right now, and because transparency is a key value of mine for this show, I’m sharing my insights with you all.   But before I get into the meat I’m going over all the amazing things you can expect in Season 2 of the podcast! From new music to new production to new segments, I’ve made some changes that will help you continue to create a life of abundance and love.   In the new segment called MOVE I’m giving you one concrete action item to take away from the episode. You're listening to this show because you want massive results in your life. Not because you want to feel an ounce more clarity, self love, confidence, courage, peace, but because you want a whole ocean full of it!   That type of shift only happens when you take massive action, and MOVE is all about you getting into massive action to create a new result or experience in life.   The second new segment is called GRATITUDE. Gratitude is the key component to experiencing life as abundant and loving (remember, the A.L.L. in the show’s title stands for Abundant Loving Life). In GRATITUDE I’m recognizing the people who made the episode possible, along with giving credit to the insanely talented musicians who provide the music for the episode.   Overall, Season 2 is turning up the authenticity, rawness, and value, and I cannot wait to get rolling!
