Listen in NOW for encouraging deep questions that will positively impact your life.
We are excited to embark on this journey with you!
Thank you for tuning into “Answers and Solutions with Jess & Mary”
Our monthly podcast has a new look, a new format and a short 15-minute listen!
In a world filled with distractions, where everyone seems to be managing two (or more) things at once, it's easy to forget the art of truly listening. But here… in this 15 minute space… we invite you to pause, to breathe, and to listen.
What if you took a deeper interest in uncovering the secrets, struggles, and triumphs of intentionally hearing what is said around you? Deep listening is bigger than your eye contact, body language and focus. Good listeners create a safe environment, positive intention, and focus on understanding.
You will naturally function better when you are a reliable active listener!
In this episode Jess & Mary uncover secrets that you can apply in your own life.
So, tune in and join us as we embark on this journey of discovery and the transformative power of listening!
Please be with us in future monthly upcoming episodes!
We would love to hear from you. Please rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast for more empowering content.
