We may be interested in living an authentic, honest life.

Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean those we're closest to are interested in doing the same thing.

The easiest way to encourage those around us to show up authentically is by ensuring we make that experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for them.

In this episode, we discuss:

• 2:31  My daughter rescinded her dinner invitation and my feelings were hurt, and I pretended it was fine when I was actually really hurt.
• 13:34  How powerful requests can revolutionize relationships
• 17:10  Behavior is coded communication
• 23:46  My grandson won't greet me
• 28:30  A script for gathering the data needed to move forward
• 38:17  Getting Grounded in Our Goodness
• 40:30  How to interrupt interpersonal violence
• 46:12  A special offer just for you!

Two upcoming programs are discussed in this episode.  Click on the links below for more info:
