This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Myrna Lapres—an experienced educator, family coach, and certified Safe Conversations facilitator. Myrna shared how "Safe Conversations" is more than a tool—it's a pathway to deep connection. Through mirroring, listening without judgment, and asking "Is there more?", couples can turn conflict into understanding. What stood out most was this: "Deep listening is love in action." Whether with your spouse, child, or colleague, this practice builds safety, empathy, and presence.

We (Sebastian & Daria) also reflected on how Safe Conversations helped us reconnect after a season of disconnection—moving from "roommates" back to being a playful, loving couple.

He emphasizes that these aren't just spiritual ideals—they're universal truths at work in successful relationships, parenting, business, and even politics. His workbook is a practical tool, not just for learning, but for transforming your marriage through intentional conversations and teamwork.
