I would love to hear from you. What did you think about this episode? Do you have any questions?
This is a short, focused episode for anyone who has tried communicating clearly — and is still feeling unheard, unseen, or stuck.
If you’ve been talking about your feelings and nothing is changing, this episode explains why that advice often fails — especially for heart-centered women who carry the emotional load in their relationships.
In just a few minutes, you’ll learn:
- Why expressing feelings alone doesn’t create relational change
- The hidden issue most communication advice ignores
- What actually needs to shift before talking helps
This episode is meant to reframe, not overwhelm — and to prepare you for deeper healing work.
