Hello love! Thank you for taking the time to listen to this short episode of the Bossy Bruja Podcast. I hope you find some of the ideas I share here useful or worth considering. The idea as communication as a process of loving people gently and earnestly is on my heart tonight. My heart hurts for individuals who are estranged from loved ones due to issues around communication. It seems to me that when we have a conflict with someone and cannot properly communicate those issues (either because we don't know how or fear we will not be heard or are met with resistance) then the original problems are only compounded by the new problem of communication. 
I feel confident that one of the best things we can do in relationships we desire to maintain (with people we love) is to either invite in an objective third-party we can both trust and respect, or to soften and be the first to listen to understand. My hope and prayer for us all is that we experience love that is safe, gentle, kind, and patient. And that we give this love to ourselves always. 
Peace and blessings and good luck! 
God bless.
