Conversations from the Heart

#86 - How Deep Presence Leads to Self-Discovery


Listen Later

What happens when we truly listen?  Not just to respond, but to create space for deeper self-awareness?  This rich and layered conversation with Patrice shows how connection-based, collaborative listening results I moving beyond her initial questions into a profound self-discovery process.  

By gently reflecting, naming patterns, and holding space, we allow the layers of meaning to emerge organically--leading to clarity and self-trust.

Listen in as we explore:

  • How our initial questions often point to deeper truths we haven't fully named yet.
  • The role of reflective listening in helping someone find their own answers 
  • Why deep, presence-based conversations create lasting transformation
  • How to listen in a way that fosters connection instead of fixing or advising

Looking for a conversation that honors both depth and autonomy?  Listen in now.

Key moments:

  • 1:39 Opening thoughts
  • 3:03 I want to break a familiar pattern of seeking connection with those who can't offer what I need.
  • 10:10 Noticing the presence of both grief and hope
  • 17:30 Closing thoughts
