Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Love them or not, the Kardashians and their show are an impactful part of pop culture. You probably know they aren’t the most healthy family in terms of their communication. You don’t necessarily think of them when you think of families that talk about their feelings in a way you’d probably want to emulate. That’s why in today’s minisode, I’m pulling two examples from the same episode on how NOT to communicate. This episode is for all the people out there who struggle with how to talk to their family, co-workers, friends, and many others. In it, you’ll hear:  First up, a comment from yours truly on the leaked document from SCOTUS about Roe v. Wade.  Both Kourtney and Rob hurt Kris’s (their mom) feelings, and what they do in response to hearing about it from her.  WHY we typically fall short when someone tells us we’ve hurt their feelings.  Examples on how to “clean up your mess” (aka apologize). Lastly, if you’re interested in signing up for The Daring Way™ Retreat that's coming up in September but have some questions that aren't answered on the info page you can book a quick call with me to get your questions answered. Simply scroll down to the FAQ’s after reading THIS PAGE and book your call. http://andreaowen.com/451  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
