Welcome to today’s PEP Talk –  How to Love Criticism – Episode #58.  

In last month’s PEP Talk, Profound Love, I encouraged you to accept the feedback you receive from loved ones in order to love them the way they need to be loved – to love them profoundly.   

Developing the ability to love someone profoundly, requires the acceptance of feedback — without making excuses, becoming defensive, or discounting the feedback.   

In this month’s PEP Talk, I encourage you to reflect on how you hear/accept feedback and I provide some possible reasons why accepting feedback might be challenging.

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – I Am Right Check- In – Episode #56

I thought it would be good to start the year off reminding you, and encouraging you, to focus on healthy communication. For this month’s podcast I am highlighting concepts from previously recorded PEP Talk podcasts because it takes a great deal of repetition for a behavior to become a natural part of who we are.

I am seeking to keep healthy communication practices on your radar so you will practice, practice, practice.

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – Should and Like – Episode #53.

My PEP Talks for June, July, and August primarily focused on healthy communication to help deepen your relationships. In September, I discussed the cognitive distortion, labeling, which can negatively impact one’s self-esteem and self-worth. In today’s PEP Talk, I share a communication tip and review a common cognitive distortion.
