Do you ever leave a conversation feeling like you weren’t really heard? Or catch yourself nodding along while already planning what you’ll say next?

In this episode of StoryClicks, I sit down with leadership coach and coach trainer Wolfgang Jani to talk about the art of listening well — and how it can transform the way we connect in every area of life.

We explore:

• Why silence isn’t the same as listening (and what real listening looks like)
• The surprising role of pauses in creating clarity and connection
• How to ground fast-paced or distracted conversations so both sides feel heard
• The importance of clarifying roles in family and work relationships
• How feeling “deeply heard” changes self-awareness, confidence, and hope
• Practical steps for handling conflict and preparing for difficult conversations
• Three to five daily habits that can improve the quality of any conversation

Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or simply wanting to connect more deeply with people you care about, this episode will help you slow down, listen well, and build stronger relationships.

What if the key to better focus, stronger relationships, and sustainable success isn’t working harder — but sleeping better?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, a board-certified sleep physician and author of Beyond Tired. We explore the hidden costs of burnout, the myths we believe about rest, and how to reclaim sleep as a foundation for a thriving life.

Topics we cover:

• Why high-achievers burn out — and how to stop it
• Common sleep myths (like “I’m fine on 6 hours”)
• Snoring, sleep apnea, and when to get checked
• How poor rest affects mood, focus, and health
• Sleep strategies for families, teens, and business owners
• The surprising power of journaling and bedtime boundaries

If you’re feeling tired all the time or want to set a healthier rhythm, this episode is for you.
