Playing With Fire

7 How to get what you want for the holiday (or any day!)


Listen Later

Having two different communication styles is a recipe for misunderstandings and hurt feelings. We had to learn the super-hard way how to ask for what we need and how to set the stage for a successful conversation no matter how sticky the topic is. Ken and Joli are sharing some of their complicated first holiday story in this episode. Ken talks about how it felt to try to communicate with two partners who had very different wants and needs. Yeah, that's right, we had a complex relationship right from the start-multiple partners and all.  All those complications made it even more crucial to find practical ways to totally overhaul our communication habits--thankfully it has really worked!
