What If Your Listening Style Is The Problem

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527194/fan_mail/new] We unpack the listening habits that quietly shape our relationships, from being fully present to shutting down as a coping mechanism. We name the styles that help people feel seen and the ones that turn a simple moment into an argument.  • active listening as presence through focus, questions and reflection  • passive listening as a drift that happens by season or with certain people  • empathetic listening as a gift that still needs boundaries  • expansive and solution driven listening that can overwhelm others  • external processing versus internal processing in marriage communication  • reductive listening as oversimplifying that makes people feel small  • insecurity and upbringing as possible roots of defensive listening  • teaching kids to use clear compliments instead of cutting remarks  let us know underneath the comments.  Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/womeninblack] 🎧 Grab your tea, coffee, or water, and come hang out with us.

Modern Motherhood is Exhausting

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527194/fan_mail/new] We talk through what Mother’s Day brings up for us, from gratitude and grief to the complicated reality of choosing what we carry forward from our moms. We get honest about overloaded schedules, self-care that disappears, and the everyday lessons that shape how we parent now.  • kids’ schedules taking over the household and how we rebuild routines  • self-care as maintenance and identity not a luxury  • the mental load of parenting across different ages and activities  • married life that still feels like single-parent logistics  • what we keep from our moms and what we leave behind  • defining a mother as source nurturer and covering  • work ethic education and leaning into a child’s gifts  • standards for speech presentation and protecting the home  • love vs survival and how it changes what people expect  • faith traditions the Halloween compromise and learning as you go  You'll find the link in the show notes and the comments.  Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/womeninblack] 🎧 Grab your tea, coffee, or water, and come hang out with us.

Married, Divorced & Beginning Again.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527194/fan_mail/new] We get real about what happens when marriage becomes a mission to prove something, and how grief, trauma, and identity loss can quietly shape every choice.
