Mindless to Mindful

The 8-Minute Rule: A Simple Way to Strengthen Your Relationships


Listen Later

In this quick but powerful episode, I’m sharing a fascinating study that proves short, empathy-driven conversations can reduce loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Yes, even a simple 8-minute check-in can make a difference in someone’s day.

  • Why do we hesitate to reach out?
  • How can we be better at listening without trying to “fix” people?
  • What phrases can we use to be more present in conversations?
  • Plus, I’m sharing my favorite mindful communication phrases so you can instantly level up your listening skills. By the end of this episode, you’ll see why connection doesn’t have to be time-consuming—it just has to be intentional.
