Welcome to Wholesome Thinking, the podcast where we create a safe space to use the gifts that God gave us, challenge people’s minds and stimulate wholesome thinking. In this episode, we dive into the powerful connection between communication and vulnerability. How do these elements work together to build trust, foster connection, and deepen relationships? We explore how different personality styles impact the way we give and receive communication.We also discuss the importance of speaking life into everything around us—how the words we choose can shape our experiences, relationships, and emotional well-being.We explore why vulnerability often feels so challenging and why we tend to hold back. We touch on the profound benefits of being vulnerable and open, even when it feels uncomfortable, and how embracing vulnerability can ultimately lead to greater emotional strength, better communication, and deeper connections with others.Join us as we discuss breaking down barriers to understand yourself and others better and learn how to communicate from a place of openness and authenticity.Let’s jump in!0:02:56 - 0:16:08 - Giving and Receiving Communication0:16:09 - 0:30:44 - Receiving Feedback and Improving Your Communication0:30:45 - 0:54:46 - Where Is / Where Was the Vulnerability?0:54:47 - 0:59:16 - Creating the Safe Space for Vulnerability0:59:17 - 01:12:46 - The Power of Positive Self-Talk01:12:47 - 01:18:05 - Life and Death is in the Power of the Tongue01:18:06 - 01:21:01 - Spencer’s Notebook01:21:02 - 01:28:55 - Encouragement for the weekReferences & Resources:Book - Wired That Way by Marita Littauerhttps://www.amazon.com/Wired-that-Way-Comprehensive-Personality/dp/0830738401Book - What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Shad Helmstetterhttps://www.amazon.com/What-When-Talk-Your-Self/dp/1501171992/ref=asc_df_1501171992?mcid=810853a47b3738c8a27c3518dcb1cbec&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693443941858&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7572958241648643739&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008561&hvtargid=pla-523289558825&psc=1Book - Hung by the Tongue by Francis P.
