We rarely listen with just our ears — we also listen with our assumptions, emotions, and expectations. In this episode, I explore the Four Ears Model (Von Thun) and how it shapes our everyday conversations. You'll learn:

• What the four "ears" are and how they influence how we hear messages

• Why misunderstandings happen even with simple words

• How to listen in a way that fosters connection, not conflict

If you've ever thought, "That's not what I meant!" — this episode will give you fresh insight into why that happens and how to bridge the gap.
