How to Be a Better Communicator in Stressful Times with Sam Horn
Description
On today’s episode of The Gentle Parenting Show, Kim is joined by Sam Horn. She is an award winning author and speaker known for her viral TEDx talks. She has worked as a communications consultant for companies such as NASA, National Geographic and many more.
Even though it’s wonderful to welcome a new baby into your family, this usually comes with some stressful moments that can cause a strain in your relationship with your partner. So, how can we improve the way we communicate with each other during difficult times?
Sam and Kim go through a list of words to avoid during arguments, and some suggestions that can help defuse family discussions and make your loved ones feel understood. They also talk about the importance of self care, especially when you’re focusing on raising children.
Quotes that we love:
“We all want to feel heard, understood and connected, especially in challenging times” and “You can transform your relationship even in the midst of having a newborn at home”.
