Marauder Radio with Bob Zima: The Power of “I, Me, and My” in Communication

On today’s Behavioral Health Espresso, Bob Zima shares an essential insight for anyone who’s tired of feeling unheard: the importance of focusing on “I, Me, and My” in communication. Whether you’re talking with a partner, a friend, or a colleague, getting your point across often depends on expressing yourself in a way that others can connect with. And that means owning your perspective.

Bob, a licensed clinical professional counselor and graduate of Chicago’s Player’s Workshop of the Second City, knows how to make complex topics both enlightening and entertaining. Through Marauder Radio, Pirate Radio for Mental Wellness, he brings a fresh, humorous approach to mental health—especially for men looking for straightforward, unfiltered advice. With his signature “HOOYA Therapy” (Head Out Of Your Ass), Bob encourages listeners to focus on what they truly want from communication and to be clear about their needs and perspectives.

In today’s episode, Bob dives into how using “I” statements can help you take responsibility for your feelings, cut through misunderstandings, and invite others to actually listen to you. When you communicate from your own experience instead of making assumptions about the other person, you’re more likely to be heard—and to foster a deeper connection. It’s a straightforward yet powerful approach that takes you out of defensiveness and opens the door to real, meaningful dialogue.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your relationships, improve at work, or just avoid those endless arguments, tuning into Behavioral Health Espresso is your chance to get a quick dose of no-nonsense wisdom on how to make yourself heard. Because in the end, if you want people to listen, it starts with owning your voice.
