Episode Synopsis

What we say matters.
How we say it matters, and sometimes… without meaning to, we cause harm to others with our communication. 
We can attack others, cast judgment, and make demands, unintentionally. 
This week's guest, Cindy Zody, is going to help us understand how to make a paradigm shift when it comes to our language as we dive into the principles of Non-Violent Communication. 
There is a way to communicate more clearly, all you need is the right tools and a healthy dose of self-awareness. 
We talk about: 
What Non-Violent Communication is
How language can be violent
Why just "being nice" isn't enough 
Why "feelings" like: unwanted, unneeded, unappreciated, undermined, let down, etc. aren't actually feelings at all. 
How to shift from judgments to observations
How to move your language from evaluation to feelings 
How to distinguish between strategies and needs 
The difference between demands vs. requests
And more! 

Non-Violent Communication makes you more at ease within yourself, causes less arguments, less regret, and gives you a framework for being more empathetic towards self and others.
