What happens when you stop being heard and start truly listening?

In this episode, Susan Braakman, founder of Listen Consulting, joins Gina Dunn to talk about the moment she walked away from a workplace that no longer reflected her values, and how that choice sparked a life built on empathy and integrity.

When your voice disappears, sometimes it’s the universe asking you to listen.

She and Gina Dunn talk about:

  • Why listening is leadership, not silence
