100Pedals Talk

What happens when you take the time to listen to the perspective of someone else, without judgement, criticism, or condemnation? What happens when they feel heard and understood? It changes everything. Today's podcast looks at the listening, in a parenting model, and examines the impact selfless listening has on a child struggling to be heard or understood.

Today's "Inside the 100Pedals Blog" podcast focused on this statement, "Decisions made from a place of fear are often emotional reactions to complicated situations which rarely lead to the outcomes we desire as logic and reason have been minimized by the fear’s intense presence."
