The Parent Toolbox: Building Calm, Confident FamiliesWhat happens when a successful marketing professional suddenly realizes she's missing her children's most formative moments? Angie's journey from corporate burnout to holistic parenting coach offers a roadmap for mothers struggling to balance career ambitions with family connection.After finding herself on the kitchen floor in tears, Angie took the leap that changed everything – quitting her seven-year marketing career to prioritize her twin children. What started as teaching essential oil classes to help her family reduce toxic exposure evolved into something much deeper following personal trauma that tested her marriage, mental health, and identity. Through intensive therapy for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, Angie discovered therapeutic techniques that transformed not just her healing but her entire approach to family communication.The C.A.L.M. approach (Compassionate Communication, Awareness and Accountability, Learning emotional regulation, and Mindful Modeling) emerged from her personal healing journey. When she shared these tools with other parents, their response was universal: "Why don't we know this? Why aren't we teaching our kids this?" Now Angie helps families break generational cycles by asking better questions, holding space instead of always problem-solving, and creating consistent family meeting rituals that improve communication.Perhaps most powerful is Angie's philosophy that "all of me with me, all of them with them" – a mantra about boundaries that reminds us we cannot control others' reactions, only our own responses. This approach has allowed her to navigate identity shifts, friendship evolutions, and entrepreneurial pivots with increasing confidence.Whether you're questioning your current path, struggling with parent-child communication, or simply seeking more calm amidst family chaos, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's transformed personal struggle into purpose.

A double definition of happiness — and how to cultivate both parts.The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.There's no one-size-fits-all approach to happiness, but according to Laurie Santos, everyone needs the two key components of contentment and fulfillment — or as she puts it, being happy in your life and happy with your life.“Being happy in your life [means] your life is filled with joy,” explains Santos, a Yale psychology professor and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. This felt sense of happiness — enjoying where we are, what we do, and who we're with — is essential, but it's not the only piece of the puzzle. Being happy with your life, she says, is the belief that “your life is going well. Being happy with your life gets closer to things like fulfillment and purpose.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Santos joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to cultivate both sides of her happiness equation, from building deeper connections with others to transforming the ways we communicate with ourselves.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Today's episode is inspired by this question from an anonymous member of the Recover Your Soul Facebook community. "My spouse is currently sober and I want to know, how and when can I talk about things that he had done while under the influence that were immensely painful to me, without seeming like I'm shaming him.  What would be the best approach?" Reading from 'How Al-Anon Works for Friends and Families of Alcoholics', Rev Rachel reflects on the importance of compassionate communication and using the Soul Recovery process to heal from difficult and painful life experiences.  We can not change the past, however, we can work to let go of the pain and resentment that those experiences have been for us in our lives and relationships and learn how to communicate in healthy and open ways. This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Have you ever been asked to "circle back" or "put a pin in that" in a meeting? Workplace jargon and buzzwords are the worst! On this episode, hosts Amanda Morin and Talli Dolge talk to Karin Bilich, Head of Content at Noom about the importance of using plain language for effective communication. Karin, a content creator, storyteller, and health tech executive, highlights the power dynamics associated with using specialized language and the exclusionary effect it can have on others. She emphasizes the need for clear communication in healthcare  and why she thinks the integration of health tech is crucial to improve patient experiences and outcomes. Listen in as she provides advice for leaders on how to communicate effectively to make people feel heard, understood, and empowered.  Takeaways Jargon and acronyms can create power dynamics and exclude others in the workplace. Plain language and understanding the audience are crucial for effective communication. User testing is essential to ensure that communication is understood by the intended audience. Biases in communication can have a significant impact, and training is needed to address them.  Effective communication should make people feel heard, understood, and empowered.

As a coach, podcaster and former air traffic controller, communicating effectively has been vital for me throughout my whole career. But communicating goes so much deeper than simply annunciating words clearly, and this week's guest on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is explaining why compassion is often the missing piece.Kate Brown is a coach and the founder of Calm at Work, and she believes that human connection is the key to overcoming issues in not just the workplace, but also in life. She's sharing what it means to communicate with compassion, and how understanding our needs is the first step to asking for them to be met by others.We discuss:How being able to communicate what we want and need is crucial to helping us reach our potentialExamples of how we can appear to ‘act out' when we find it hard to vocalise our needsThe different types of apology, and understanding this is similar to knowing your Love LanguageHow connecting to our humanity improves workplace well being and relationships, and makes us a better leaderThe unmet need many introverts have because they're not sure how to ask for it!As Kate says in the episode, "compassion is meeting people where they are and meeting myself where I am", which is such an empowering way to approach all types of communication.Episode Resources:Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life by Marshall B.

This week it was my privilege to speak with Kasia Wezowski about body language, leadership, and communication. Kasia, along with her husband Patryk Wezowski, are founders of The Center for Body Language, the world's number one body language training company for business people. In this conversation Kasia guides us through her new book, Language That Leads: Communication Strategies that Inspire and Engage a compelling and insightful book that combines her cutting-edge research with Marshall Goldsmith's leadership development methodology into a practical and timely resource for leaders to bring out the best in each team member. Wezowski breaks down the ten core qualities of leadership, providing easy-to-follow implementation steps to express, observe and project these qualities effectively through verbal and nonverbal communication. In this episode, Kasia dives deep into the importance of trust in leadership and how it can transform your team's performance. Recognizing the value of trusting employees to manage their time and work responsibilities while discussing how this approach boosts overall results. Drawing interesting parallels between leadership and parenting, Kasia also shares how giving individuals space and autonomy can lead to enhanced productivity, creativity, and engagement.  This episode also highlights the leadership style of former Ford CEO, Alan Mulally, who prioritized connecting others with skills rather than trying to possess all the expertise himself. Kasia uses Mulally's leadership style to stress the vital role of effective communication in leadership and the importance of creating a supportive environment where everyone can share their opinions. In conclusion, understanding body language and emotional cues is also addressed as a valuable tool for any leader seeking to cultivate well-being and engagement within their team.

Jared Auten, LMSW, is the Crisis Line Director at HeadQuarters Kansas in Lawrence, KS. His work currently focuses on crisis center operations and 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline implementation and integration in Kansas. I view people who answer calls on the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline as the Navy Seals of communication. Their ability to listen, ask questions, help search through intense emotion, and collaboratively bring someone to a safer place is incredible. Due to this - I spent a lot of this episode asking about ways to employ these conversational and social skills in our everyday relationships and how to communicate crises. I also ask about how to navigate the topic of suicide with a loved one. When Jared was a teenager, he lost his father to suicide, so his perspective covers both a suicide prevention professional and a suicide loss survivor. Expect to hear about: the phenomenon of over-identifying with a narrativehow anonymity affects digital social situationswhy you should be direct when talking about suicidewhy it can be easy to struggle with the one-sided nature of therapynavigating the pressure of vulnerabilitywhy some people have FOMO when it comes to peoplea useful tip to navigate how many questions to askhow to talk to a loved one about suicide active listening tips (minimal encouragers, reflections, prompts)and the common mistake people make when someone tells them they're considering taking their own life. If you have recently had thoughts of taking your own life, call 988.
