In this episode, we sit down with Jill Haynie — stone artist, storyteller, and coach — for a raw and resonant conversation about truth, compassion, and the quiet power of the inner world.

Jill invites us to ask: What would happen if we told the truth about ourselves — the real, messy, muck-deep truth? Through her own story and the work she does with others, Jill shares how naming our truth and hearing it reflected back can illuminate the loops we keep repeating, offering the insight we need to shift them.

She speaks to the sacredness of our personal tapestry — how every thread, even the painful ones, has shaped who we are. We explore forgiveness, self-compassion, and the courage to release what no longer fits. Jill reminds us that our inner world holds more wisdom than the noise around us — and that listening to its nudges is how we find our way home.

This is a conversation about being bold, letting go, and trusting what’s already inside.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with communication expert Sheila Pride to explore how the way we speak—and truly listen—can transform our relationships, shift power dynamics, and foster deep understanding. Drawing on neuroscience and decades of experience in social work, trauma recovery and transformative coaching, Sheila breaks down why so many of us default to unhelpful patterns, how our brains respond in moments of tension, and what we can do to rewire those patterns toward connection rather than conflict.

This conversation goes beyond communication tips—it’s an invitation to examine the wish beneath the words, to step away from the need to “win,” and instead approach every conversation with curiosity, empathy, and intention. Whether you’re navigating a difficult parenting moment, trying to connect more deeply with your partner, or simply want to show up better in your workplace, Sheila offers practical strategies and profound insights to help you do just that.

Tune in to discover how better communication isn’t just possible—it’s a daily practice that can reshape every part of your life.
