Podcasts about Miscommunication

Tax planning strategies can fall flat if financial advisors and CPAs aren't working together. Miscommunication, timing issues, and a lack of context can create friction—or worse, lead to missed opportunities or costly mistakes. Steven Jarvis is the CEO of Retirement Tax Services, a tax education and preparation firm that partners with financial advisors across the country to better serve their clients. Listen in as Steven explains how advisors can build trust with CPAs through proactive communication—not just sending over forms during tax season, but also giving context to planning decisions, providing year-end summaries, and getting ahead of major moves like Roth conversions or Qualified Charitable Distributions. You'll learn how aligning with CPAs as collaborative decision-makers can lead to better returns for clients and the potential for cross-referrals, and why timing conversations around a CPA's calendar matters.  For show notes and more visit: https://www.kitces.com/459

This week, Bex & Laura sit down with the wonderful Carys and Tasha to talk all things IVF, loss, and love. Their story begins back in December 2021, when they started their IVF journey with all the excitement and nerves you'd expect. Along the way, they faced some of the hardest challenges- hyperstimulation syndrome, medical miscommunication, and heartbreakingly, the loss of their baby, Poppy.As a same-sex couple, Carys and Tasha shine a light on the extra hurdles they've had to navigate, from the lack of clear information to the added emotional toll when professionals don't quite get it right. Through it all, they've shown resilience, strength, and a determination not just to keep going, but to use their story to help others feel less alone.We talk openly about the importance of advocacy in healthcare, the need for better understanding and training for professionals, and why keeping conversations about their little one, Poppy, alive means so much. Looking forward, Carys and Tasha are planning their wedding (cue the happy tears) and holding on to hope as they continue their journey to parenthood.It's a powerful reminder that community, compassion, and talking honestly about the messy, beautiful bits of loss and love can make all the difference.Takeaways:IVF is not just physical - it's deeply emotional, and that side is often overlooked.Same-sex couples face unique challenges and gaps in information.Miscommunication from medical professionals can have lasting emotional impact.Talking about lost babies keeps their memory alive - Poppy will always matter.Advocacy and better training for healthcare workers is vital.Community support brings connection, understanding, and strength.Love, resilience, and hope run through every part of Carys and Tasha's story.We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation. We're all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff - baby loss, infertility, and everything in between - and making sure no one has to face it alone. Our community is full of honesty, compassion, and real talk, offering support, understanding, and hope when it's needed most.

This week's cycles invite you to find your voice in the tension between self and other, and to alchemize old wounds of belonging into courageous self-expression under the light of the Full Moon.Wednesday, October 1 – Mercury in Libra squares Jupiter in CancerThe Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra, sign of balance and relational harmony, encounters tension with the Teacher (Jupiter) in Cancer, the sign of belonging, lineage, and emotional roots. This square can amplify conversations about fairness, truth, and belonging—sometimes exaggerating perspectives or inflating the desire to be “right.” There's an invitation to expand your vision while also listening carefully to others' truths, especially when your own need for belonging gets stirred. Miscommunication may highlight old emotional patterns that are ready to grow into greater wisdom. Reflection Question: Where are my words or thoughts asking for expansion beyond old family or belonging stories, and how can I hold space for multiple truths without losing my own voice?Friday, October 3 – Mercury in Libra opposes Chiron in AriesHere the Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra directly faces the Wounded Healer (Chiron) in Aries. This can spotlight core wounds around self-expression—feeling unheard, unseen, or dismissed—and how these wounds play out in relationships. Conversations may carry a sharp edge, not because they are wrong, but because they touch a tender place of vulnerability. The medicine is in noticing how old wounds of self-assertion or self-worth shape current dialogues, and how to bring compassion and balance into the exchange. Healing can come by learning to speak your truth gently, without abandoning yourself.Reflection Question: What tender wound in me is asking for compassionate communication, and how can I honor both my voice and the voices of others in this dialogue?Looking Ahead to Next Week– Full Moon at 14° Aries (Oct 6)The week builds toward a powerful Full Moon in Aries on Monday, Oct 6. This lunation illuminates the central polarity of the week: Libra's call for harmony and connection versus Aries' call for courage and authentic selfhood. The Moon in Aries shines on your need for bold self-expression, while the Libra Sun reminds you of the beauty of reciprocity and balance in relationship. Expect heightened emotions and the potential for breakthroughs—especially where old wounds around speaking up, being heard, or claiming your space in relationships are ready to shift.This upcoming Full Moon acts as the alchemical climax of the week: all the Mercury conversations with Jupiter and Chiron prepare the ground for a liberating moment of truth under this Aries–Libra illumination.Reflection Question: What truth of my own selfhood is ready to be spoken and witnessed under the light of the Full Moon?Podcast Poem: The Forest for the Trees by Rena PriestSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation. At the edge where technology meets myth, I choose insight over noise, and alchemy over automation. Thank you for dreaming the future with me.

It's almost spooky season! This week's episode, things get sweet and a little chaotic. We kick things off with a spirited debate about candy corn (spoiler: we have strong opinions). Sam's son makes a guest appearance in the background; he just wants to be the third podcast host! Then we dive into My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine. We chat about the book's fluffy, feel-good vibes, the predictability that didn't quite surprise us, and the only miscommunication trope that actually works.  We hope you enjoy this episode! About The Novel: Nothing sucks more than fake dating a vampire in this paranormal romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire. Amelia Collins is by definition successful. She would even go so far as to say successfully single. But not according to her family, and she's tired of the constant questions about her nonexistent dating life. When an invitation to yet another family wedding arrives, she decides to get everyone off her back once and for all by finding someone–anyone–to pose as her date. After a chance encounter with Reginald Cleaves, Amelia decides he's perfect for her purposes. He's a bit strange, but that's fine; it'll discourage tough questions from her family. (And it certainly doesn't hurt that he's very handsome.) For centuries-old vampire Reggie, posing as her plus-one sounds like the ultimate fun. And if it helps his ruse of pretending to be human, so much the better. As Amelia and Reggie practice their fauxmance, it becomes clear that Reggie is as loyal to her as the day is long, and that Amelia's first impressions could not have been more wrong. Suddenly, being in a real relationship with Reggie sounds pretty fang-tastic.   Wanna Check Us Out? Click Here!    

Miscommunication isn't fate—it's fixable. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, marriage counselor Raffi Bilek, author of The Couples Communication Handbook, breaks down why most fights spiral (fight-or-flight, solving too soon) and how to replace them with a clear, repeatable process. We cover the two-conversation framework (explore first, solve second), listening that lands (reflect, don't rebut), using humor without harm, and building a reliable repair system so conflict doesn't erode the relationship. Direct, practical, and immediately usable for couples, therapists, and anyone who wants fewer blowups and more connection.   About the guest  :   Raffi Bilek is a marriage counselor and author of The Couples Communication Handbook: The Skills You Never Learned for the Marriage You Always Wanted. He helps couples move from reactivity to repair with simple, teachable skills grounded in real-life practice.   Key takeaways  : Don't fix in the fire: pause when activated; come back when you're regulated. Run two conversations: first explore the problem (what's under it—respect, autonomy, feeling unseen); then solve it. Listening ≠ agreement: reflect back what you heard; postpone rebuttal and solutions. Make safety explicit: agree on no judgment / no interruptions / no instant fixes while exploring. Humor connects only when it's not at your partner's expense; don't use jokes to deflect hard truths. Expect work: great relationships aren't conflict-free; they have a reliable repair system. Name emotions directly; increase self-awareness (introspection, therapy, journaling) so your partner can understand you. If one partner won't invest, depth stalls—decide to accept the status quo, re-contract the relationship, or seek change together. Household fights are usually symbols; get curious about the meaning, not just the dishes. Small weekly practice: one explore-only talk (15–20 min); solutions scheduled later.   Connect with the guest   Website (book + contact): https://www.thecommunicationbook.com/Download first two chapters free; contact Raffi for questions or consults.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this raw and practical episode, we break down the real reason relationships don't survive space - and it's not what you think.The Hard Truth: Most relationships don't end because of space. They end because of miscommunication during that space.What You'll LearnWhy "the perfect phrase" is marketing BS that preys on your desperationHow your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios during silenceWhy labels shut down conversations instead of opening them upThe Avoidant Partner Question: A listener asks about navigating communication with an avoidant partner. Staci's Answer: Stop weaponizing labels. Avoidant partners aren't broken - they're coping.Key Insights About Avoidant Partners:They're not withholding love on purpose, they literally don't know how to express itThey're often the most sensitive, emotionally deep people you'll meetAvoidance is a coping behavior, not a life sentencePractical ToolsWhen to reach out vs. when to hold back during spaceHow to regulate yourself so your words don't come from panicThe difference between connection and pressure in your messagesThe "Decoding the Delay" Game: Next time someone doesn't text back immediately, challenge your brain's negative bias.

#287 In this episode, I share a recent frustrating experience I had with a coworking space (spoiler: I'm no longer a member). But more importantly, I'm using it to highlight 3 key lessons every business owner needs to hear. Here's what happened… Miscommunication, unaddressed billing issues, and inflexible systems turned what could've been a minor hiccup into a lost relationship. Whether you run a gym, coach clients, or sell products, the principles apply: Communicate clearly – Say what you'll do, then do what you said. Radio silence breaks trust faster than anything. Fix billing mistakes fast – There's no such thing as a “small” billing error. Own it. Stay flexible – If your system can't make room for your customer, they won't make room for you. I wrap up with a challenge: What's one policy, habit, or touchpoint that might be quietly pushing your best people away? This one might sting a bit but it'll sharpen your business. Let's dive in.

What if the most powerful leadership skill isn't about what you say, but how deeply you listen? Julian Treasure, five-time TED speaker and author of Sound Affects, returns to The Leadership Project with a bold warning: the world's listening is fading, and the consequences are enormous. Miscommunication costs organizations trillions, yet only 8% of employees believe their leaders are good listeners.Listening isn't just hearing — it's a conscious skill shaped by culture, experience, and belief. Treasure shares practical tools like the PAVE method (Paraphrase, Admit, Validate, Empathize) to help leaders bridge divides and create real understanding. In today's noisy world of constant alerts and distractions, the ability to listen with presence has never been more vital.True breakthroughs happen in two places: deep, mutual listening or in silence. For leaders who want to inspire trust, boost engagement, and deliver results, mastering conscious listening may be the highest-leverage skill of all. Are you ready to move beyond hearing to truly understanding?

What if you could eliminate sales resistance before it even starts? Most business leaders think they need better closing techniques or flashier presentations to increase sales. But Nancy Zare, organizational development expert, discovered something shocking: The biggest barrier to sales isn't your product—it's speaking the wrong language to your prospects. The $10,000 Mistake Most CEOs Make Daily You're probably treating prospects how YOU want to be treated. Big mistake. Nancy's research reveals four distinct buyer types, each requiring completely different approaches: The "2" Buyer: Needs 1-2 touchpoints, makes quick decisions (spot them by their confident, almost smug smile)The "4" Buyer: Relationship-focused, needs 2-3 touchpoints (warm, genuine smile gives them away)The "6" Buyer: Analytical, requires 6+ touchpoints (reserved, formal expressions)The "8" Buyer: Thorough researchers who need extensive information (uncomfortable smiles, cautious expressions) The LinkedIn Profile Hack That Reveals Everything Nancy shows you how to decode prospects in under 60 seconds using social media clues—including the type of smile in their profile photo. Yes, really. This isn't personality profiling; it's sales intelligence. Why Your Best Salespeople Are Burning Out Here's the kicker: You're probably forcing your entire team to use the same sales process for completely different buyer types. No wonder your conversion rates are inconsistent. The result? Longer sales cycles, more objections, and frustrated prospects who buy from competitors who "just get them." The Platinum Rule That's Crushing the Golden Rule Forget treating others how you want to be treated. Nancy's "Likability System" flips this on its head: Treat others how THEY want to be treated. This isn't about manipulation—it's about respect. And respect converts. What You'll Discover: ✅ The 6 criteria for instantly assessing someone's communication style  ✅ Why traditional sales training fails 75% of prospects  ✅ The smile decoder that reveals decision-making patterns  ✅ Time management systems that match your personality type (not everyone works like Stephen Covey)  ✅ Why building relationships beats closing techniques every single time The Bottom Line Nancy's clients report dramatic improvements in conversion rates, shorter sales cycles, and—here's the surprise—happier prospects who actually thank them for the sales process.

This week, the boys talked about AI generated music in the classroom and sandwiches. Jeff also had a very important public service announcement.

The discussion today centers on the pressing issue of science communication and the alarming erosion of public trust in scientific endeavors. Our guest, Alex Kirkpatrick, a distinguished scholar in science communication from Washington State University and Cornell Engineering, offers a novel perspective by examining the dynamics between scientists and the public, particularly through the lens of identity and perceived threat. We delve into the inadequacies of the prevalent knowledge deficit model, which assumes that simply imparting scientific knowledge will foster acceptance and trust. Kirkpatrick's research highlights how a scientist's strong identification with their profession can inadvertently lead to negative perceptions of non-scientists, consequently hindering effective communication. This episode promises to illuminate the intricate interplay between identity, communication, and trust in science, providing valuable insights for both scientists and communicators alike.Takeaways: The podcast discusses the critical issue of trust in science and the communication breakdown between the scientific community and the public. Alex Kirkpatrick's research reveals how scientists' strong in-group identity impacts their perception of non-scientists as a deficient out-group. The knowledge deficit model in science communication assumes that simply providing more information will foster trust and understanding, which is fundamentally flawed. The study emphasizes the importance of perceived threat in shaping scientists' attitudes towards non-scientists and their communication strategies.

Engaging Conversations: Navigating Relationships, Humor, and Road TripsKey Takeaways:Humor might not always be the best ice-breaker in sensitive situations, especially when it comes to differing cleanliness habits in relationships.Communication breaks down when partners fail to acknowledge the other's perspective, leading to unresolved issues.The magic of road trips is more about the journey and the shared experiences than the destination.The Delicate Balance of Cleanliness in RelationshipsNavigating the complexities of a romantic relationship is no small feat, especially when cleanliness standards become the battleground. This transcript presents a riveting discussion revolving around an "Am I the Asshole?" scenario, where one partner is faced with a daunting challenge: addressing the hygiene habits of her boyfriend's household.Mike and Torya engage in a spirited debate on whether the woman in question is an "asshole" for pointing out a fecal smear. As Torya recounts, "I used the restroom, looked to my right, and at eye level was a huge smear of dried number two." Her partner's household, a realm inhabited by three boys and a father, embodies chaos and filth that surpass her tolerance, underscoring a key theme: the need for communication and respect for each other's living standards.The question arises, though: is it truly fair to label someone a neat freak for merely refusing to stay in an unsanitary environment? As Torya passionately clarifies, "Complaining about a poop smear does not make her a neat freak." The clash between Mike's pragmatic perspective and Torya's empathetic one captures the quintessential challenge many couples face: harmonizing differing cleanliness habits without resorting to hurtful jokes that can escalate conflicts. Mike sums it up succinctly: "She needs to tell him clearly, I won't spend the night at your house because it's a pigsty."The Art of Communication and CompromiseCommunication—or the lack thereof—serves as a catalyst in the discussion around the transcript's relational dilemma. Miscommunications often erupt when partners fail to comprehend and adjust to each other's needs and boundaries. For Mike, the essential factor is directness. He asserts, "If you're pointing it out just to be like, 'ah, see, that's why your place is a pigsty,' well, then, fuck you." Here, Mike's blunt approach accentuates the importance of honest conversations over sarcastic jests.However, Torya brings another dimension into the fray with her empathetic take on the scenario, demonstrating that what some might view as criticism could actually be a call for help or change. Quoting her personal experience, "Even if you are a slob, that's gross," Torya stands firm in her belief that pointing out unhygienic conditions merits understanding, not judgment.Despite these opposing views, both speakers tacitly agree on the need for cleanliness, posing a crucial reflection for relationships: where does one draw the line between acceptance and the necessity of change? The overarching takeaway is clear: conversations and compromises are pivotal in fostering mutual understanding and solution-driven dialogues.Road Trips: Experiencing the UnexpectedTransitioning from personal dynamics to experiential realities, the road trip narrative in the latter part of the transcript offers a refreshing shift in tone. Mike and Torya recount their journey through the Mojave Desert with a mix of humor and awe, reminiscing about traversing a dry lake bed and spotting the occasional Joshua Tree. Torya jokes, "I was like, these assholes. These are Joshua trees."Even as the trip exposes the quirkiness of human geography and nature, it also underscores the power of shared experiences in deepening relationships. As they humorously banter about the perceived endlessness of the environment, "On the way home, it felt like we were on that forever," they also rekindle the sense of wonder and discovery that makes traveling memorable.This road adventure stands as a metaphor for handling life's unexpected quirks and challenges. While Torya and Mike bicker and jest, they ultimately exemplify how partnerships—much like road trips—can be about embracing the journey, with its detours and scenic routes, rather than fixating solely on the final destination.Personal reflections from the discussion highlight that our interactions—be it amidst domestic squabbles or cross-desert road trips—tend to move in somewhat predictable patterns. Whether it's emphasizing the vastness of a peculiar geographical landscape or unraveling the entangled nuances of a relationship, keen communication and shared experiences remain at the heart of the matter. By embracing humor, however risky, and understanding when to communicate more directly, couples can navigate both the messy and the serene stretches of their shared journeys.TimestampSummary0:06Debating Etiquette Over a Fecal Smear in a Partner's Home1:45Communication Breakdown Over Cleanliness in a Relationship5:24Debating Cleanliness and Social Etiquette in Shared Spaces8:24Balancing Neat Freaks and Slobs in Relationships9:09Messy House, Bathroom Smears, and Relationship Doubts11:08Messy Roommates and the Limits of Tolerance13:35Tidy Spaces, Relaxation, and Yogi the Dog's Leadership14:12A Surreal Journey Through A Dry Lake In Palm Springs17:45Debating the Existence and Nature of Joshua Trees19:38Reflections on Road Trip Driving Patterns

The conversation around publishing journeys is often binary: You either try traditionally publishing or choose self-publishing. But the reality for many authors is a combination of both. Author Chips Pons self-published his debut novel, You & I, Rewritten, in 2022. Now, he returns to bookshelves with her second novel, and first traditionally published, Winging It with You. In this episode of "Writer's Digest Presents," we chat with Chip about all things romance, from writing the will-they-won't-they scenes to infusing genuine miscommunication that everyone can relate to.

89 - Discovering Purpose in Trauma - The Craig DeMartino Story   You won't believe this story: Craig DeMartino fell roughly 100 feet in the backcountry, suffered catastrophic injuries—and then amputated his own leg. Doctors didn't expect him to survive the night. Fast-forward 22 years, and Craig has not only climbed El Capitan five times, including as the first amputee to summit it in under 24 hours, but he also leads climbing expeditions that help veterans and people with disabilities reclaim their purpose and identity. Episode Highlights: Origins of the Accident Craig fell ~100 feet while top-roping in Rocky Mountain National Park (July 2002). Miscommunication with partner led to premature release and catastrophic injuries including compound fractures, spinal injury, broken ribs/neck, punctured lungs. He survived and underwent an extensive rescue via backcountry, litter, helicopter, and hospital care. The Road to Recovery Multiple surgeries, ICU, rehab, two months in assisted living. After 18 months, he chose to amputate a non-healing right leg to reduce pain and regain function. Mental Health Journey Craig and his wife Cindy sought couple and individual therapy for PTSD, identity loss, and adapting to physical changes. Therapeutic strategies: breaking goals into manageable “chunks”—a mindset he learned from climbing. Rebirth as an Adaptive Climber Craig returned to climbing, conquered El Capitan five times—including becoming the first amputee to climb it in under a day (14 hours)—and led an all-disability ascent documented in Gimp Monkeys. Giving Back Through Mentorship He now co-leads Adaptive Adventures, guiding veterans and others with disabilities into climbing as a tool for healing, identity rebuilding, and community. Daily Habits for Wellness Movement, pain management, and self-compassion (“rest days are okay”) are key to sustaining physical and mental health post-trauma. Facing Fear Craig still acknowledges fear but manages it by “living with it” rather than trying to erase it—focusing on logical risk management, small incremental progress, and emotional self-regulation. Finding Purpose Surviving the accident propelled Craig to ask, “Why did I live?” His mission became turning adversity into opportunity, inspiring and empowering others. What's Next? Upcoming adventure: rock climbing on Sardinia's coastal cliffs with Cindy.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Julian Treasure—acclaimed sound expert, five-time TED speaker, and author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business—to explore the critical skill we've forgotten: listening. Julian unpacks how our noisy, fast-paced world has led to a global erosion of our ability to truly hear each other and how that impacts our leadership, relationships, and mental wellness. He introduces actionable tools like the RASA method and shares the deeper significance of “conscious listening” as a foundation for more mindful, connected lives. About the Guest:Julian Treasure is a renowned authority on communication, sound, and the impact of listening. With over 150 million TED Talk views, Julian has helped millions understand how sound affects us and why intentional listening is essential. He is the author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business, and founder of The Listening Society, a global initiative committed to restoring listening in our culture.   Key Takeaways: Listening is a skill, not a passive act. Hearing is natural; listening is intentional and practiced. Impatience is eroding our communication. The digital age favors reaction over reflection. Conscious listening changes relationships. Awareness of your “listening position” can transform how others feel seen and valued. Noise is costing us. Miscommunication and disengagement from poor listening cost businesses $10 trillion globally. Practical tools like RASA (Receive, Appreciate, Summarize, Ask) help foster deeper conversations. Silence is healing. Practicing moments of daily silence recalibrates your mental clarity and emotional state.   Connect with Julian Treasure: Explore Sound Business and How to Be Heard wherever books are sold.

It's not always easy to share how you feel with the ones you love most. In this episode, Alayna shares her plan to make communication with her family even better.  Alayna's story is a reminder that change doesn't occur through hope alone. Instead, you have to make an active effort to shift your circumstances. The process may be imperfect, but as a phenomenal woman, she's making an effort to build a solid foundation of communication with her family from a place of love.  In this episode you'll hear about: being a recovering people pleaser,  establishing boundaries while maintaining great relationships, defining your needs and expectations to the ones you love,  providing logical solutions vs managing emotions,  creating a structured family agreement of communication,  expectations, feeling defensive when someone gives advice, and  being proud of how far she's come.  At the end of the episode, we reframe her limiting belief "you can't break the cycle of miscommunication" to fit more within Alayna's desired reality. Stay tuned until the end to shift your mindset. Connect With Us! @syeamese @lauren.e.will @ipwomanpodcast imperfectlyphenom.com
