Sometimes we go through periods where we do not see outside progress or results, despite taking the action. And that can be....frustrating (to put it mildly).   Today, I wanted to share two ideas - one extended metaphor, and one short thought - that I've been reminding myself lately, in my own season of taking action without seeing a ton of results (yet). They've given me a lot of patience - and helped me feel downright optimistic about things.   I hope they will help you as much as they've helped me.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com  

This episode is about self-development realism. To me, self-development realism is acknowledging the *reality* of your limitations when it comes to implementing ideas from podcasts, on instagram, or books.   You can consume as much self-development content as you’d like, but I don’t want you to get frustrated or overwhelmed by it. I strongly believe that the most meaningful change typically happens iteratively, over time.   So I hope this episode gives you some encouragement and, frankly, context as you listen to the rest of my podcast, or consume anything from anyone.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

​​In coaching my male clients, I realized that there were some common challenges that they encountered, in communicating with their female partners — and that I could often help them communicate far more effectively!   Truthfully, I hesitated to make this episode. I don't always love making gender-based generalizations - but I also felt like this was a topic that could help a lot of people.   So this week, I'm doing it. I'm sharing my best ideas about how to communicate with women, and I'm joined by a very special guest: my husband, Gil!   You'll hear my super-tactical suggestions, Gil's genius theoretical principles (he says things like "embrace the vortex" - and it is *so freaking good*), plus some fun behind-the-scenes about our relationship (there's a moment when I say: "I think the fact that you believe this concept is 90% of why we have a happy marriage.")   This episode is for you, if you're a man who sometimes struggles to communicate with women. This episode is for you, if you're a woman who sometimes struggles to explain to men why their communication isn't working. (And this episode is for you, if you are a person of any gender who wants to communicate better with anyone - but especially women!)   And stay tuned for my next episode, when we'll be talking about how to communicate with men!   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com
