Description

In this episode of Balanced Self, host Barbara Fitch is joined by guest JoEllen Wilkins to explore “Paraphrasing vs. Reacting: Tools for Active Listening.” Together, they unpack how paraphrasing allows us to listen with intention and curiosity rather than simply reacting, and why this shift is essential for building trust, understanding, and stronger connections. Listeners will gain practical tools to move beyond quick responses and into deeper, more meaningful conversations that strengthen both personal and professional relationships.
