Communication and Conflict Resolution

It's back to just your favorites! Julee and Ryan are here this week to discuss their perspectives on communication and conflict resolution.  Julee and Ryan share their personal stories and what they've learned to ask for when engaging in conflict. They go over many different rules and strategies in how to manage your own emotions while still playing on the team of your partner. In this episode, you'll get to hear Julee talk about how she personally manages conflict with her husband, how there can be a push-and-pull effect between the partners, why we should discuss our expectations to avoid misunderstandings, and the common hang-up of people grieving that a conflict even had to happen! Ryan also gives a fun scenario at the end for Julee to decide how she wants to resolve, and we leave the episode looking at ways we can examine ourselves and continue to grow.

Dealing with Emotionally Immature People Ft. Lindsay Gibson, PsyD

Need a guide on how to deal with the immature people in your life? Thank goodness we have Lindsay Gibson with us today!  Lindsay is a clinical psychologist and well-published author with a lot of advice on how to deal with the immature parents and people that we might be stuck with.  We cover a whole lot in this episode, discussing how the media seems to elevate immature personalities more, how to handle those who don't treat us how we want to be treated, and what happens to us when these people make the interaction all about them. Ryan also shares a memory of a time his mom handled something very maturely.  Check out Lindsay's website and look to get her new book, "Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People." http://www.lindsaygibsonpsyd.com/ Hosted by: Ryan & Julee Barkauskas ---- Follow Ryan on Social Media!

No Cost Cancer Support at Waterford Place Ft. Omar Ramos

It's rare in this day and age to hear about healthcare that truly cares, but that is what you'll find at Waterford Place in Aurora, IL.  A haven for patients and families fighting cancer, Waterford Place is an institution that our very own Thomas Barkauskas worked with extensively. We have the pleasure of talking to Omar Ramos on this episode, the Program Development and Operations Manager, about his journey to this special place and what it does for families in need.  Omar has the unique and special journey of starting at Rush Copley Hospital at the age of 16. After working in food service and then the financial aid department, he now has the pleasure of focusing on the good work of helping these families. We discuss his journey, our own family's history with cancer, and what all of these resources mean to the community.  See here for a list of resources mentioned in today's episode: * Support programs and Financial Assistance: https://www.cancercare.org/ [https://www.cancercare.org/] * Legal and Financial Navigation: https://triagecancer.org/ [https://triagecancer.org/] * Workplace and Resume: https://www.cancerandcareers.org/en [https://www.cancerandcareers.org/en] * Financial Assistance Locator: https://www.panfoundation.org/find-disease-fund/ [https://www.panfoundation.org/find-disease-fund/] * Waterford Place: https://www.rush.edu/waterford-place-cancer-resource-center [https://www.rush.edu/waterford-place-cancer-resource-center] Hosted by: Ryan & Julee Barkauskas ---- Follow Ryan on Social Media!

How Do We Manage? Ft. Ryan's Boss, Jennifer Menendez

It's Therapy with my Mom and another person from Ryan's world! This week we have the pleasure of talking to Jennifer Menendez, Manager of The Post climbing gym, Ryan's second home, and his part-time job. Jennifer has been working in and managing gyms for years and has developed her leadership methods based on her life experience and years of trial and error.  Fresh off of a summit on gym leadership, Jennifer has some opinions on how she can better lead her team and the culture that she wants to foster. We get into the pressures that come with being the boss and communication styles that might need to be adjusted based on how others are receiving our messages.  Hosted by: Ryan & Julee Barkauskas ---- Follow Ryan on Social Media!
