S10 E.7: Mudita & Dan: Communicating Like a Bad Ass

Communication is the bedrock of our interactions, yet few of us are taught to talk and listen in a way that fosters clarity and connection. Too often, our communication habits lead to confusion, misunderstandings, bruised feelings, damaged relationships, and avoidable conflict. In this episode of the Beyond Surviving Podcast, I connect with Mudita Nisker and Dan Clurman, authors of Let's Talk: An Essential Guide to Skillful Communication, about how to change that. We discuss the how to’s (and to not’s) of communication along with their Top 3 strategies for communicating like a bad ass!

Mudita wants you to know that, "Communication is spiritual in the sense that it fosters compassion. And part of compassion is recognizing that we are all suffering on some level and to open our hearts to that with kindness to ourselves and others."

Dan wants you to know that, "In communication there is mutual understanding and that is a beginning element. The more I understand myself and someone else in conversation, the more I'm touched by the other person's experiences, the more I'm affected, the more I have some sense of empathy and thus able to recognize how interdependent we all are."
