Do you tune out your significant other when you are tired?
Do you wonder why your partner rarely seems to hear what you actually said? 
Do you get SO frustrated that they have time for stupid cat videos but not a 5 minute conversation with you? 

If you ever wonder why listening to each other is so  freaking difficult... this episode is for you. In this candid and often hilarious episode, Kim and Ray break down common communication challenges many couples face, and offer solutions for improving (and actually hearing) your conversations.

A MUST listen episode!

We are told to be authentic and confident, but to go ahead and "fake it til you make it" if needed. Although widely accepted and even catchy to say, "fake it til you make it" is actually terrible advice, undermining the very things it is supposed to help you achieve. 

In this week's fiery episode, Kim and Ray hotly debate exactly why it is so damaging, and what to consider instead. 

Listen in. 

Changing directions is really hard, especially when you've already invested a lot.

It can be tempting to stick with the status quo- even when you know it isn't working. In this candid episode with guest Nick Bolourtchi, we talk about what it takes to pivot, and why it matters.

If you have ever contemplated making a change when you are already pretty far down the road, this episode is for you.

With one month left until college graduation, senior Samantha Bolourtchi gets real about how she's feeling. In this vulnerable and honest conversation, Sam speaks truth about her college experience interrupted by the pandemic, and the ways it has shaped her. 

Unrehearsed and barely edited, this is one of my favorite conversations to date.

85% of us walk around feeling, at some point or another, like we can't show the world who we truly are. For a long time, I was part of that statistic, while in complete denial about the toll it was taking.

The reason we feel the need to hide parts of ourselves, and the solution, are not what you think. Listen in as Kim and Ray get real, and talk candidly about imposter phenomenon.

Have you ever said something clearly- and had someone react in a way that leaves you baffled and confused? 

You might have wondered just HOW they could be so clueless. You wouldn't be alone.  And.... it might not be a them issue at all.  

In the humorous (and personal) premiere of Season 4 of Boldly Stated, Ray and I unpack miscommunication, at work and at home.  Listen in, and decide if you are really as clear as you think.

According to an op ed this weekend, telling new graduates to seek "passion and purpose in their work" is the "worst advice" we can give them.  In 12 minutes, I attempt to shred every part of this ridiculous argument.  Listen in, and decide for yourself.

We've all had those moments when your mind goes blank under pressure. You start to panic- trying to recall what you were thinking about, or what you were going to say or do next.  The harder you think about it, grasping for recollection, the worse it gets. 

What if there was something you could do to regroup and calm down in that moment that didn't involve thinking at all?

Fortunately... there is. Listen in to this week's conversation with my brilliant Glowe Connective colleague Ariana Jahja, where we share proven strategies for accessing confidence and power under pressure.
