I'm letting today be a reminder of all the women who have come before me in my family, my country and history. They all faced adversity and did what they could to survive and overcome. I thank them for all the work they did. And future generations will thank us for the work we're doing now. However big or small those efforts may be.

Women have power. Let us not underestimate ourselves. Let us not believe we are less than. Let us support and uplift each other today and everyday.

It's hard out there. It's scary. The best we can do is live each day knowing that what we do matters. How we treat ourselves matters. How we treat our loved ones matters. How we support fellow women matters.
I know that the road is long, the fight is exhausting but we must keep going. Taking care of ourselves and each other as best we can along the way. Laughing, crying, screaming and everything in between.

There's so much conversation that happens without real listening. So much communication without real meaning. How can we get better at listening, and having conversations that matter?
Hopefully, we all know the feeling of truly been seen, heard and understood. It feels really good.
We can learn to be mindful of how we approach conversations. To look with compassion at the times we let ourselves or our partners down when we listen in-actively, when we miss their bids, when we're feeling flooded or reactive and continue to argue. When we've entirely missed what they said or mis-understood or dismissed them.
💗Compassion is key when learning a new behavior. We will not get it right all the time. Be kind when you don't. Keep going, try again. Because the goal is to create closeness and connection. To do that we need to feel seen and heard and for our partners to feel the same.
What do you find to be most difficult about listening and communicating?
When you get it wrong, what thoughts are going through your head? How about when you get it right? How does that feel?
I'm here to help create better connections through communication and self-expression.
Reach out and let's talk about what's going on for you.

Communication for connection is all about listening and answering. Not just listening enough to respond but actively listening. Actively listening to follow what's being said and reflect back what you've heard. Not to simply shift to yourself. It's a very powerful tool. Letting the other person know you're present. Helping to build connection.

According to Celeste Headlee , author of "We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter", there are two types of responses in conversation. The shift response and the support response.
>>Shift responses bring the attention back to you. Support responses allow the other person to continue.

Conversations have a natural flow to them, a back and forth. You have a related thought or experience and so you share it. Then let the other person keep talking.
If you find that you're always shifting back to yourself, or perhaps someone you know does this, it's called conversational narcissism. It stops the flow of conversation. The back and forth just becomes forth. This does not create connection. It requires interrupting or exiting from the conversation.

If you're dealing with someone who does this, or have an inkling it might be you, there is hope. Or perhaps you'd like to get better at actively listening so you and your partner feel more connected, I'm here to help. 🔗in bio
