If there is one thing that needs to be improved upon now a days its communication.  We communicate in all sorts of ways, yet people rarely feel the need to improve upon it.  I would say, at best we have found ways to do more of it, but more of it does not mean that the communication is always healthy.  We somehow have managed to do more of communicating badly in some instances.  This episode we talk about how communication happens; the value and liability of communication in relationships; and techniques for better communication in relationships.  We end the podcast with some self reflection exercises that can be downloaded through our "Become a Member link"  on our website or show notes.

This year don’t make a resolution but set a goal; six of them. There are at least six key areas that I feel we should all have a goal for. I discuss each of these areas in this weeks episode of the podcast.   You can also download my article Six Types of Goals for FREE and use it as a self-help guide from my resource page. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DawnJonesSpeaks/six-types-goals-make-2021

In this episode we recap the thoughts from our last conversation together.  As with every episode we not only highlight an issue but we also offer a general solution that can be explored by our listeners.  Our aim is to touch, help to heal, and add value to the lives of our listeners.

Since this subject of detox is a multifaceted issue we offer a generalized solution to point our listeners in the right direction.  Depending on the depth of the presenting issue our listeners are always encouraged to seek help from a licensed professional and our podcast should never be a substitute for licensed professional help, if necessary.

There are days when we are easily irritated, moody, and down right mean. For some of us this is a temporary lapse in judgment due to stressful situations; for others it’s an ongoing thing. Relationships with the latter may even become toxic. We can become toxic and fail to bring life into the work place, home, church etc. Is it time to detox? Let’s talk about it.
