EP 93: Beyond Communication: From Expectations to Understanding with Sherry McClurkin
Healthy relationships aren’t built on better words alone, they’re built on deeper self-awareness.
In this episode of Communicate Great, host Traci Poe welcomes back therapist and relationship coach Sherry McClurkin, M.S. for a powerful conversation that goes beneath surface-level communication skills and into the real drivers of relational breakdown: unexamined needs, hidden assumptions, and unmet expectations.
Sherry shares her personal journey, from growing up in an emotionally silent home to becoming a therapist who now helps people reshape how they show up in relationships. Together, Traci and Sherry explore why people talk past each other, how emotional immaturity shows up in everyday interactions, and why expecting others to “just know” what we need creates disconnection instead of closeness.
