    Send us a Text Message.

    Ever thought to yourself, "Sheesh, he/she is complicated! I just don't understand them." I'm sure we've all thought this a time or two and we were totally right! Humans are very complicated. It's hard for us to understand each other - it's even harder for us to share with one another what makes it so hard for us to understand one another.

    In this episode I wanted to share some of my favorite HUMAN QUIRKS. These are things that make the human experience fun but also miserable. For instance, we're far less likely to reach out for help the more we need it. Or, we flock to digital platforms that promise connectedness yet are actual best friends are all ones we made in person.

    It's fun, it's complicated, and it's worth it. ALSO - I'm rebranding back to Talk to People Podcast. Hope you enjoy.

  • #72 - Three Habits to Healthily Navigate Disagreement
    May 23 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    One of the biggest painpoints is relationships is CONFLICT. We fear conflict more than heights, running out of gas, or public speaking. And it makes sense why because relationships are ESSENTIAL. When they are at threat, then our wellbeing is also at threat.

    In this episode I outline three of the most helpful ways to navigate disagreement. I've learned these via some of the best resources out there, particularly the book "Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most."

    Send this to your manager, your coworker, your romantic partner, and your sibling.

  • #70 - How to Stop Self-Sabotage in Conversation
    May 16 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    In this episode I attack FOUR of the most common self-limiting beliefs I hear about talking to people. With each belief, we'll unpack why it exists, what it actually is, and how to circumvent it. Remember - I'm not a clinician or licensed psychologist - so I won't be writing any prescriptions or giving that advice. But - I am someone who thinks about communication, talks about it with people nonstop, and wants us all to improve.

    Anyone else dread networking? Anyone else ever been to a "networking event" that consists of groups of people standing in a room, business cards out, and looking at each other awkwardly?

    When do you say what you do? Do you talk about things other than work? Do you one-up people? Or do you just listen? And then after the fact - do you reach out to the person again? How do you even NETWORK?!

    In this episode, I, alongside Zac Harris, talk about the challenges in networking. We outline how to approach networking in a way that will alleviate stress and pressure.
