In a heartfelt and introspective episode of The Jar, we had the pleasure of meeting Dale Briggs at his trailer on the outskirts of Flagstaff. The picturesque setting, with foothills and mountains in the distance, served as the backdrop for a candid conversation.Dale's journey begins in Sharonville, a tight-knit community near Cincinnati. He hails from a family deeply rooted in American heritage, with a lineage dating back to the Daughters of the Revolution. His upbringing was marked by a strong sense of law and order, instilled by his father, a prosecutor, and his mother, true cole miners daughter from Eastern Kentucky, the ones heralding from the American Revolution who began shipping moonshine when Dale was just 11 as "medicine" from hi Aunt & Uncle who made it from their still.Despite the challenges and colorful stories of moonshine, drugs, and a family with its share of complexities, there was a constant thread running through Dale's life—a yearning to be accepted for who he truly was. Amidst all the tumultuous experiences and substances within his family, he longed to find that one person who would embrace him unconditionally.Dale's life unfolded in three distinct phases, with one-third spent in Ohio, one-third in Tampa, and now the final third in Flagstaff. He grapples with self-forgiveness, striving to be the best father he can be while also reconciling his feelings of exclusion from his youngest child's life. His determination shines through as he strives to be the best grandparent possible.Join us as we sit in front of Dale's trailer, surrounded by the beauty of wildflowers and distant mountains, reflecting on two-thirds of his life and the hope he holds for redemption and acceptance. The Jar continues to bring you real conversations with real people, and Dale's story is a poignant reminder of the power of self-discovery and the possibility of finding peace through these conversations.For more of Dale's personal side. https://www.facebook.com/dragonflypromotionsofnorthernarizona?mibextid=ZbWKwLhttps://www.youtube.com/@loveoutloudtodayFor more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

In South Phoenix, we had the pleasure of meeting our next guest, Dan Collins, a true product of the Southwest Chicago area. Dan shared some insights into what it was like growing up in the heart of the Midwest, which offered him a somewhat typical Midwestern childhood experience.As the only boy in the family, Dan's upbringing had its share of unique experiences. His father was a dedicated union worker, which undoubtedly left an impression on young Dan. Around the sixth grade, the government implemented a busing program, reshuffling children from one part of the city to another for school. Dan found himself attending a Catholic school to avoid being bused into the inner city, but this move didn't shield him from youthful mischief.At the tender age of 13, Dan ventured into some questionable activities, including pilfering Valiums from his grandma's medicine cabinet and even getting caught selling "black beauties." This led to a tumultuous period that culminated in a 90-day stay in a psychiatric ward. His stay was etched in his memory, from the names of the counselors to the doctors who attended to him. After his release, he entered high school and fell into a life of gang involvement, distancing himself from his family.A pivotal moment came when Dan found his passion in sports, particularly track, and believed he was on the right track (pun intended). However, a series of mistakes led to him losing his eligibility, pushing him down a darker path. Despite enduring hardships, including struggles with alcoholism, Dan managed to achieve sobriety in 2013, embarking on a journey of recovery.Remarkably, Dan is now an ordained minister who dedicates his life to working with addicts and alcoholics, offering support and guidance. His story is one of struggle, resilience, redemption, and ultimately, service. Join us in this powerful episode as we delve into Dan's life, filled with its share of trials and triumphs, and discover the inspiring journey of a man who found a higher calling in helping others. This is The Jar, where we engage in real conversations with real people, sharing their compelling stories.Dans Site. https://www.facebook.com/share/cFQcV2iKpTx4fe4t/?mibextid=K35XfPFor more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

In this episode of SoTellUs Time, we delve into the dynamic realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on the business landscape. AI, an acronym for Artificial Intelligence, has become synonymous with cutting-edge technologies like ChatGPT, revolutionizing how businesses operate and manage their workload. ChatGPT, a prime example of AI services, acts as a virtual assistant that can undertake various tasks, such as crafting emails or engaging in web chat conversations. This technological marvel has found its place in business operations, proving invaluable for writing emails, conducting research, handling basic client queries, and even initiating communication with potential clients. The convenience it offers is palpable, making it a tempting prospect for businesses seeking efficiency. However, there's a crucial caveat – while AI excels at certain tasks, it has its limitations. It is not a panacea for all business needs. There are areas where human touch and intuition still reign supreme. One of the pitfalls lies in entrusting AI with customer service in its entirety. This brings to light the comparison between offshore support and in-house support, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of human connection in customer interactions. Consider the scenario of an AI scheduler attempting to establish a meeting time. It might efficiently propose a time, but it lacks the ability to adapt to nuances like a human would. The inability to build personal relationships is a key deficiency. Your relationship with clients is a business's most valuable asset, and while AI can automate tasks, it falls short in cultivating meaningful connections. The takeaway is clear: leverage AI for tasks that can be automated to save time, but never compromise the human touch when it comes to client interactions. Building relationships, understanding nuances, and creating a personalized experience are realms where humans still outshine AI. As homework, businesses are encouraged to evaluate their operations. Identify one task where AI can be integrated for efficiency and one aspect where personal interactions with clients can be enhanced. Striking the right balance between AI automation and human connection is the key to unlocking the full potential of technology in the business landscape.

Undoubtedly, AI has made significant contributions to various aspects of human life by automating countless tasks and eliminating the need for extensive manual labor. However, a notable challenge arises as AI replaces the human workforce in many companies, resulting in a decline in human interaction skills. This raises the question of whether life is becoming too monotonous. In this AI-dominated world, where can listening find its place when challenges are minimized? Niels Van Quaquebeke is an organizational psychologist based in Hamburg, Germany. He is recognized as one of the Top100 German-speaking business scholars under 40 (Handelsblatt). He is the recipient of multiple awards for his teaching and is frequently featured in public media. In this episode, Niels explores how we can coexist with AI. Despite its incredible potential to transform various aspects of life, it is crucial to recognize the power of human communication and the ability to overcome challenges through human-to-human interaction and listening. "The [ AI response] makes for a very enjoyable interaction where you don't feel stupid, you don't feel misunderstood. You feel somebody else is taking the time and somebody else actually communicates in a way with you that you understand. And you also feel seen." - Niels Van Quaquebeke SUPERPOWER Notes: 01:02 - What Niels focus is now: I'm very interested now on how our relationships are formed, not only with each other through technology, but also with us AND technology. 02:02 - The Eliza Program and its Implications in human-AI interaction 03:32 - Paying attention to the Now, New, and Next of our relationship with technology 11:40 - How has AI helped people in communication and listening: "AI just has that patience to do it. And listening does require patience and AI has potentially all that processing power to listen to every nuance." 14:31 - The opportunities AI has afforded humans 20:02 - How AI has removed the social layer that hinders many of us to achieve certain things 28:51 - How to not live a boring life despite AI's advancement: Celebrate the human life that we have with each other and start building communities. Be more deliberate with how we interact with each other. Key Takeaways: "Listening is not just hearing, but also trying to understand." - Niels Van Quaquebeke "When trying to understand, we're also not islands. We are connected to other sense-making systems that help us." - Niels Van Quaquebeke "AI just has that patience to do it. And listening does require patience and AI has potentially all that processing power to listen to every nuance."- Niels Van Quaquebeke "AI has the response resources at its disposal. It's not necessarily biased in one way, but it really has a whole bouquet of responses, how it can interact with you." - Niels Van Quaquebeke "The [ AI response] makes for a very enjoyable interaction where you don't feel stupid, you don't feel misunderstood. You feel somebody else is taking the time and somebody else actually communicates in a way with you that you understand. And you also feel seen." - Niels Van Quaquebeke "There's a lot of human potential in interacting with AI in the future that is yet to come."- Niels Van Quaquebeke "I find it so interesting that we spend hours and hours pondering how to best prompt an AI; if we would spend the same hours and hours to think about how we could best have a conversation with another person just imagine the potential we could unleash between two people." - Niels Van Quaquebeke "We spend hours pondering how to best prompt an AI; if we would spend the same hours to think about how we could best have a conversation with another person just imagine the potential we could unleash between two people." - Niels Van Quaquebeke Notes/Mentions: Eliza Program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA Khan Academy: https://blog.khanacademy.org/learner-khanmigo/ Niel's Interview: Leaders and Asking Questions: The Surprising Discovery of What Is Needed to Find Solutions and Build Relationships with Niels Van Quaquebeke Connect with Niels Van Quaquebeke: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/quaquebeke X: https://twitter.com/NielsQuaquebeke Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com Mobile: + 491732340722 contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn Podcast email: listeningsuperpower@gmail.com

In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, you'll hear from guest Meghaan Lurtz, a finance and psychology expert, who is dedicated to improving communication skills, particularly in the context of difficult conversations surrounding money. She believes that the challenge lies not in the topic itself, but in what it represents in society and the shame associated with it. Meghaan's passion lies in helping individuals become skilled communicators who can ask thoughtful questions that support and connect with others. Through her work as a professor, she has witnessed the transformative power of asking questions in various settings, including personal relationships and financial planning. Meghaan emphasizes the importance of follow-up questions, which not only enhance understanding but also make individuals more likable. She also highlights the significance of phrasing questions in a way that promotes safety and avoids confrontations. By focusing on effective communication strategies, Meghaan aims to improve relationships and foster deeper connections among individuals. In this episode: Discover the small changes in communication style that can have a significant impact on your interactions. Enhance relationships and deepen understanding through the power of asking thoughtful questions. Utilize body language and posture to create a positive and receptive atmosphere for effective communication. Deepen connections and understanding by using techniques such as reflection, labeling, and scaling questions. Understand the importance of establishing a strong and safe relationship before offering advice or solutions. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, In this episode, Melina Palmer introduces Megaan Lurtz, a writer and senior research associate who specializes in the intersection of finance and psychology. Meghaan shares her expertise on communication skills and the challenges of discussing money. 00:04:06 - Why People Hate Talking About Money, Meghaan explains that money is a difficult topic to discuss due to the various emotions and judgments associated with it. People often feel shame or judgment when talking about their financial situation, making it a taboo subject. 00:06:09 - The Power of Scaling Questions, Scaling questions are a powerful tool for communication. Meghaan describes how scaling questions can be used to gauge someone's feelings or experiences on a scale of 1 to 10 and then follow up with why they didn't choose a lower number. This technique helps shift the focus to positive aspects and improves overall communication. 00:09:40 - The Impact of Follow-Up Questions, Meghaan shares a study conducted on speed daters, which found that the most significant factor in securing a second date was asking engaging follow-up questions. Follow-up questions that keep the conversation focused on the other person make individuals more likable and improve connections. 00:14:44 - The Importance of Listening, Active listening is crucial for effective communication. Meghaan emphasizes the importance of genuinely listening to others, without distractions or interruptions. 00:15:13 - The Power of Communication, The way we communicate can have a significant impact on how others respond to us. Small changes in our communication style can lead to either a positive or contentious response. Nonverbal cues, such as body language and posture, also play a crucial role in effective communication. 00:16:38 - Finding the Right Balance, Communication styles differ from person to person, and it's important to find the right balance that works for each individual. Experimenting and testing different approaches can help determine what feels comfortable and yields the best response. 00:18:41 - Asking Interesting Questions, The way we ask questions can make a significant difference in the depth of communication. Simple changes, like asking follow-up questions that reflect genuine interest, can lead to more meaningful and engaging conversations. 00:22:43 - Getting to the Deeper Meaning, Rather than sticking to surface-level facts, it's essential to delve deeper into the meaning and feelings behind people's responses. By asking reflective questions and exploring emotions, we can create stronger connections and foster better understanding. 00:26:18 - The Importance of Connection, Building strong connections is crucial in all relationships, whether personal or professional. Without a solid foundation and safe space for communication, advice and recommendations may not be effectively received or acted upon. Communication and connection go hand in hand. 00:30:22 - The Importance of Questions in Communication, Questions serve a purpose beyond just seeking answers. They can help create a more comfortable and open conversation, leading to deeper connections and understanding between people. 00:31:32 - The Power of Communication in Healing, Research has shown that individuals with positive relationships heal faster when faced with physical injuries. Good communication, expressing love and care, can make us superhuman and have a significant impact on our well-being. 00:34:00 - The Value of Teaching Communication Skills, Instead of focusing solely on academic subjects, teaching communication skills such as asking open-ended questions, reflective listening, and labeling can be more useful in improving relationships and changing lives. 00:36:02 - Effective Questioning Techniques, Mirroring, where you repeat back what the person said, and labeling, where you identify and reflect their emotions, are powerful questioning techniques that show genuine interest and encourage further conversation. 00:38:20 - The Impact of Questions on Energy and Focus, Questions can influence where people direct their attention and effort. By encouraging others to focus on positive aspects or different perspectives, we can help shift energy and improve relationships and outcomes. 00:45:04 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.

Born at the crossroads of India and Pakistan, within the ancient lands of Iraq. Sukaiyna (Suki) Gokal's story is one that rises above borders, transcending barriers, where love serves as the foundation. Despite the backdrop of geopolitical turbulence, Suki's life has been marked by duality, courage, and an undeniable spirit of forbearance.From the opulence of the luxury world, she unearthed an unparalleled truth: that the grandest luxury of all lies in the nurturing of our inner selves – our minds, our emotions, and our spiritual evolution.In 2012, inspired by the birth of her son Ayden, the 'Garden of Ayden' sprouted – a sanctuary echoing Suki's profound studies in psychology, interwoven with the rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and universal values.From Geneva to Hong Kong, London to Tehran, this multilingual British national has dedicated herself to fostering empowerment and resilience in the face of life's inevitable challenges."Join us, as we journey through Suki's garden of wisdom, exploring stories, insights, and lessons that transcend geography, uniting us all in the quest for understanding.Connect with Suki on InstagramIn this interview with Suki Gokal, you'll discover:-The Catalyst for Suki's Spiritual Journey (03:15)Every journey begins with a single step. For Suki, it wasn't a dramatic event or a call from a divine force, but rather a quiet realization that she needed more from life. It was a feeling of being lost amidst the clamor of societal expectations, ever-demanding responsibilities, and the tumultuous landscape of human interactions. This sensation nudged her to embark on a quest to rediscover herself and the world around her.-The True Meaning of Tolerance (06:55)Tolerance is a term often tossed around today. Its frequent use, unfortunately, has eroded its depth. In an era where "tolerance" is a common buzzword, how can we champion its true essence? To start, it's essential to understand that genuine tolerance goes beyond mere acceptance. It involves recognizing and celebrating our differences and understanding that these very differences enrich our collective human experience.-Embracing Our Fears and Vulnerabilities (10:25)As Suki progressed in her journey, she realized that resisting her fears and insecurities was limiting her growth. The moment we drop the resistance and, paradoxically, exaggerate our perceived flaws, we discover an unexpected freedom and power. By confronting and owning our vulnerabilities, we can transform them into strengths.-Seeing the Good in Others (16:20)In a world that often seems to thrive on negativity, it's easy to assume the worst in people. But when we take a step back, we realize that most individuals have noble intentions. By choosing to believe in the inherent goodness of others, we cultivate an environment of trust and understanding, enabling stronger connections and collaborations.-Emotional Management and Resilience (17:15)Interacting with difficult people is an inevitable part of life. How then, can we manage our emotions when confronted with unpleasantness? By focusing on our reactions and reminding ourselves that we have control over our emotional responses, we can navigate such situations with grace and poise. After all, as the saying goes, we cannot control the actions of others, but we can control our reactions.-Garden of Ayden: A Treasure Trove of Wisdom (20:35)Suki's 'Garden of Ayden' audio series has been a beacon for many. Some of its teachings, like the significance of living in the present and the art of letting go, have resonated deeply with her audience. These insights, while profound, are presented in a relatable manner, making them accessible to all.-Embracing Curiosity Over...

Hello there, I am so happy to have you here today listening to this week's podcast episode. I hope you're doing well, I have been doing great. And I say that because life is often in phases of up and down, or maybe just sometimes middle ground. And I have been in a middle ground to up meaning better place, at least right now. And I attribute that to having seen some old friends recently. And I've also been in the process of making new friends in the community and also at my older child's school. So that's been really nice and has me thinking about the power of human connection. So many of us as moms out there, you've got the demanding career, and you're just exhausted. And maybe you find yourself yelling at your kids twice a day to get out the door and brush their teeth. Or you've thought about cutting back at work for a really long time or a different role, but you're afraid to ask for that because of what your colleagues or superiors might think. Or every day your brain is just spinning nonstop over your to do list or pending work that's piling up. And this is mentally exhausting, and it leads to exhaustion and burnout. And what I do in my program, and I'm going to talk about today, it's really solutions to ditch burnout and exhaustion once and for all. And if you want to learn more about that check out my free masterclass four steps to overcoming burnout and overwhelm to get your peace of mind back. The link will be in the show notes. And in terms of solving it, today, we're going to dive into the concept of human connection and how powerful it is. So let's just start with creating an understanding of the impact that relationships and connection have on our well being. Studies have shown that strong healthy relationships are linked to better mental and physical health, along with having a reliable support system. And this can truly improve emotional health, well being, resilience, and most importantly, it fulfills the need to belong. So for us, having a sense of belonging as human beings is such a key component for leading a balanced life. And we really are inherently social creatures. Evolutionarily, the survival and success of the human species has heavily depended on our ability to form strong bonds. So in prehistoric times, early on, early humans found support and also resources within the framework of tribes or close knit social groups. Which is why we always talk about, I think there's a common idea that having a sense of tribe is so important. Now back then those tribes provided protection against external threats like predators, and also helped with the success of hunting and gathering and feeding families. And the tribe would share these responsibilities and resources. And therefore the burden was no longer on one person. And that really helped them survive. So this is how humans evolutionarily really thrive in cooperative and interconnected communities. Now, today, it's a little different, especially in the United States. People tend to often stick to themselves, they don't ask for help, houses often are not as close together. And I say this because I remember when my grandmother was alive, when she would come to visit us from India, she would feel so lonely, because the juxtaposition of living in America where everything's kind of quiet, you're on your own a lot. She was used to living in an apartment in India, where neighbors would just drop by unannounced and she was constantly socializing. So that gives me a little bit of a comparison of how maybe other countries might function. I know that's how India is, people are much more social. But in this country, people don't always have this automatic community. And that's where the work comes in. And we get to decide that we can create one, we build one. So our brains have evolved to reward us for social interactions as well, because positive social connection really triggers the release of oxytocin. And oxytocin is a hormone that really fosters trust and bonding. And that's why spending time with loved ones and belonging and being a part of a community. For me, that's my college group of friends, my medical school group of friends, a couple of residency friends, I'm close with too, although currently I'm really working on building the community where I live and trying to make new mom friends. Which is why I'm bringing this up because I want everyone to have this at the forefront of their mind. Forming strong relationships is just rewarding. And it really has been through human history for the reasons I just described. So when we have a tribe, a group of friends or a supportive community, we have a place to turn when life gets overwhelming or we're having a hard time and hopefully you build a community with people who you trust, who can have empathy for you and you for them. And who can understand what your struggles might be, and make you feel like you have people to lean on. And that connection is such a great tool, a safety net, and can help us navigate the challenging aspects of being a working mom, a mom in a demanding career. Where you're doing so much at work, and you're so busy. And then at home, you're also perhaps having the majority of the mental and physical labor at home as well. The other thing I didn't mention before, which I should have is that early on humans and tribes, they actually experienced less stress, because they had this sense of belonging and emotional support, and that contributed to their overall survival, but also reproductive success as well. I'm going to briefly break down the types of connection that human beings can have. So you got familial, friendships, and romantic. So we've got those types of connection. And what's interesting is there are a lot of preconceived notions about family where you feel like you're supposed to be the closest with your family. But sometimes, depending on how much personal growth you yourself do, you can start realizing maybe things that don't align for you that your family demonstrated, or the practices that your family had. Or maybe that your family is not supportive in certain ways, and maybe they don't meet your needs in certain areas. And as you do that, connection with others becomes that much more crucial and critical. So friends, for example, fostering those friendships can really be grounding and help you during good times and bad. And I think I said this on last week's episode, that people are often caught up with their own stuff. But if you actually reach out to your friends and tell them that you need them, more often than not, as long as they themselves, if they're going through a hard time, they're not gonna be able to show up for you. But most of the time, people will turn up for you, you just have to ask. And of course, fostering that connection, in general is really important, be it through text messages, or sending cards, or sending a gift, or that you're thinking about them, or calling people. That's really important in maintaining the friendships throughout. And then we've got romantic relationships, which especially if you're married, or have a partner, and you live with them, that's a day to day interaction that is one of the most important relationships of all. Because that's the person, especially if you have a lifelong commitment with them, that you're going to be with even after your kids leave the house, after your parents pass away. So that one probably needs the most attention and take that for granted the least. And so also you have to figure out ways to connect with your partner on a daily basis in person, know their love language, really foster that and work on good communication skills. And actually beyond that, and I'm not a relationship coach, but something that I've really come to know is that knowing who you are, where you came from, your emotional history, your baggage, why you made the decisions you've made, how you got here, and really knowing yourself and loving yourself, that is critical in building a relationship and a connection with a romantic partner. And hopefully they do the same. And then it makes it a little easier to create a connection between the two of you. So those are the types of connections and then also we've got superficial versus more intimate connections. So superficial conversation is just conversations that you have with people that you don't know, like the weather, or what trips are you taking, but things that do not really scratch beyond the surface. And I personally am not interested in doing that in my life anymore, I just find it to be not rewarding. And I feel like it's a waste of my time. And if I'm going to make friends with people, I really want to scratch beyond the surface and delve a little bit deeper than that. I mean, you can't really do that right away with people you don't know. But me personally, I'm pretty open. So I will usually be honest about my situation. And with a little bit of vulnerability, I think that welcomes people to be vulnerable as well. And granted, you don't have to overshare but if you're comfortable sharing below surface stuff, I think that's always useful in initiating a little bit more intimate of a conversation, intimate of a connection that's beyond the superficial, because that's really how we create those bonds. So now I'm going to talk a little bit about maintaining and improving these relationships. So I've got about seven tips to talk about today. Tip number one is really prioritizing communication. So this is really wonderful and not easy to do to have real conversations. Really sharing our honest thoughts and feelings while practicing kindness at the same time. And this is truly the foundation of any strong relationship. And I actually really like the Gottman Institute for little tips and tricks. It's on romantic relationships, but I also think it's applicable to other parts of our lives. Including conversations with our children, where communicating with kids and really having those lines of communication, a judgment free zone and somewhere where the kids feel safe to talk to us. That's really critical in the bond with our children as well. Tip number two, quality time. So really making time to spend with the people that you care about. So be it trips, my college group of friends has a yearly trip, same usually my med school group of friends, we meet yearly. And with other friends, I try to make time to talk them on the phone regularly or see them. If you've got a partner really plan those date nights automatic, schedule them, have playdates for your kids with friends, and try to be present when you're at home with your family and put your phone away because that is quality time and our kids will be gone before we know it. So really being present in these moments can strengthen that connection with others. Tip number three is practicing empathy and understanding. So just the idea that everyone has their own struggles, so we just never know what's going on with other people. So really try and put yourself in the shoes of your partner or friends or family and try and have empathy for them. Because this can really lead to better connection as well. And if you show up empathetically for someone else, don't expect anything in return. But oftentimes people will surprise you. And they will support you in an empathetic way. And you will receive that well. Tip number four, boundaries. They're healthy. So learning boundaries is so important. And boundaries really look like if you do this, then I will do that. So it's not about shutting other people down. It's really protecting our own personal space and our needs. And so I'll give an example of this, which is interesting. And it's come up for me recently. I realized that one of my personal triggers is when people raise their voices or when they're yelling. And one of my children has taken to shouting from time to time. So I told my child, hey, can you please stop shouting, and my child didn't listen. So then I said, hey, if you keep shouting, I'm going to have to remove myself from the room for a moment because I'm not enjoying it, and I gotta leave the room. And I set that boundary. If you do this, then I'll do that. That's how boundaries work. And I found that the shouting stopped right away, and I didn't have to leave the room. So it's really interesting when we can communicate our needs and have a plan in place for ourselves for our own mental and physical safety, given whatever scenario you want to plug into that. And boundaries in preserving our personal safety and space really help to energize us and reduce exhaustion and prevent burnout, it leads to better connection and better and healthier relationships, actually. And remember that the people who really love and care about you, they're not gonna be mad at you if you practice boundaries for yourself. Tip number five is gratitude practice. I love this one because gratitude is known as something that really boosts happiness. Research has shown that gratitude practice really leads to a happier life. And so taking time every day to reflect on the positive aspects of our lives, having gratitude for the people in our lives, having gratitude for the relationships. Really telling ourselves how grateful we are for things, that's important to really acknowledge that. But also expressing gratitude for others. And I think it's so important to let those who we care about know that while they're still around, and hopefully that way, we won't have regrets. And so practicing gratitude can definitely strengthen the connection between us and others, really strengthen that bond and have a positive ripple effect just all around. That's one of my favorite things to practice, because it's just so easy to do. And I've probably mentioned this before, but I've been practicing gratitude with my older child since he was two and a half. And now he's five and now my younger daughter, she is two and a half. So I just started practicing with her too. Tip number six is to seek help when you need it. So don't be afraid to ask for help when you're going through a challenging time, fom your partner or friends or whomever else. Really sharing your struggles can help you feel better, but also help others have a better understanding of where you are. And that leads to strengthening of relationships as well. Last but not least, tip number seven is to celebrate. And this is one of my favorites. This is not as easy to practice as gratitude. But this is one of my favorite things to do celebrate everything, whether it's a personal achievement, an anniversary, a special occasion, a birthday, whatever it is. Getting people together for these milestones, and really creating memories to reinforce the joy of life. And also you'll see that when people show up for you during these special occasions, it strengthens the bond, it strengthens the relationship, and you're going to feel really, really loved and cared for. And me personally, a shout out to all my friends, particularly the ones who have shown up to celebrate with me some of the big moments in my life and they have taken a lot of trouble to do that and my sister too actually. So I love and care for them very deeply and it has meant so much to me that they've been there for me. And so taking the time to do the celebration and celebrate really each other and each other's success, each other's growth. And I remember a good friend of mine from medical school, a dear, dear friend, she and I were talking on the phone and we were both celebrating each other's progress in life. And it was just nice to cheer each other on for the mundane things. Because I think often we just take that for granted. But that's another way to really deepen your connection with other people. And now I'm just gonna talk about a couple of client examples. I have of really strengthening connection and relationships. One of my clients who is a physician and mother of two small kids, she started incorporating her older child, her daughter, into her morning routine of just making her coffee and having her help with stuff in the morning. Now, this served a couple of different purposes. Her daughter felt important, she felt like she was connecting with her mom. And the client was also getting some help in the morning. So it just ended up everybody was winning. But she felt like through creating a couple very simple rituals with her child, she was able to foster a deeper connection, and she found her child acting out a lot less when she was doing that. So that's something to think about doing. Especially if you have younger kids, they love being involved in mundane activities. Another one of my clients, who is a pharmaceutical executive and mom of two, she took time to start playing the guitar again. And what she ended up doing was she ended up taking guitar lessons with her daughter. So that was their special thing that they were doing together. And she was able to really connect with her daughter and reignite her old hobby and make time for herself through practicing the guitar. And now I'll give you one of my own personal hacks. If my son has like a half day off from school, I try to do something with him. Be it spend time with him, run errands with him, get a meal with him, just so that we get in some quality time on a regular basis. And this is in addition to whatever day to day practices that we have like the gratitude practice or storytime or he's playing the ukulele now, he just started but I sit with him when he practices that. Because for me, academics and being disciplined are really my strong suits so I can show up for my kids in that way. Emotional intelligence is also something I'm really interested in. So we talk a lot about mindset and the ways we see the world. And we do a lot of practicing breathing for, let's say having coping skills and tools in our toolbox for any and all emotions, which are all okay to feel. So those are specific examples of my clients and me and what we've done. And I'll also add that I know a lot of you are probably thinking that cutting back work to part time is the best way to be a good mom and spend time with your kids. Well, that's not the only way to be a better mother and connect with your children. And it's okay that you think that because society has been implying for years that we have to work part time even schools don't really cater events and scheduling to working moms. But if you've fallen in that trap, I'm willing to bet that you've been feeling guilty too for a while. So we know that if working part time made us feel less mom guilt and created better parents then everyone who worked part time would be totally fulfilled and satisfied as a parent. And we know that's not the case. So here's what the women who are fulfilled and happy career moms, what they do. They create rituals in the morning of a minute of snuggle time or having their child participate in making their morning coffee like my client did, or putting your phone away when you walk in the door for an hour to really connect and inquire about your kid's day. Or have a mindfulness based practice every night before bed like gratitude practice or belly breathing for about a minute or so with your kids like we talked about. So that gives you plenty of stuff to think about today. When we die, we're going to remember the connections we made with our friends and family, those memories and those moments. Not being at the computer for our job, putting more time and energy into work. That is not what we're going to remember. And I say that as a physician who does a lot of end of life care. I've been a hospice medical director and for sure the work stuff doesn't matter as much as we think it does. And the day to day grind, it's so easy to get caught up in that, especially when you have kids. But really being able to zoom out and think about what we talked about on today's episode, the power of human connection and how not only is it so, so important but it really will help us combat exhaustion. And I've helped so many professional moms work on these kinds of issues and fix this problem through coaching with me. So to see if you are someone that I can help too, click on my scheduling link.

Have you ever heard these common myths about building connections and creating a sense of purpose in sales? Myth #1: Networking is just about exchanging business cards. Myth #2: Purpose is a fluffy concept that doesn't impact bottom-line results. Myth #3: Building strong connections is only for extroverts.

Lloyed Lobo, the accidental entrepreneur turned Wall Street Journal bestselling author, has a unique journey that has always revolved around the power of community.

Later, during the Gulf War, Lloyed saw how a shared purpose could unite even in the face of adversity. These experiences shaped his belief that great leaders should cascade purpose, not just goals, and that when people are united by a common purpose, they can move mountains. Lloyed's entrepreneurial spirit was ignited by these experiences, as he learned that entrepreneurship is not just about making money, but about taking an idea and executing it with extreme risk and uncertainty. Building communities became Lloyed's DNA, and it played a vital role in the success of his company, where he realized the true power of connection and the impact it has on mental well-being.
