In this episode of Being Human with Steve Cuss, Steve and Lisa explore how communication styles—rigid vs. fluid, internal vs. external processing, and rapid vs. deliberative thinking—shape relationships, well-being, and spiritual growth. They share personal experiences, unpack how trauma and certainty can impact faith, and revisit recent conversations with Cheryl McKissick (a fifth-generation Black business leader) on family legacy and authenticity in predominantly white spaces; Adam Young on self-awareness, empathy, and spiritual disciplines for healthier connection with others and God; and Clarissa Moll (The Bulletin) in a thoughtful back-and-forth.Biblical Passages Psalm 139 (ESV)Episode Resources: Learn more about the McKissack firm Check out Cheryl Mc Kissack Daniel’s website Cheryl McKissack Daniel’s The Black Family Who Built America: The McKissacks, Two Centuries of Daring Pioneers Adam Young’s Make Sense of Your Story: Why Engaging Your Past with Kindness Changes Everything Adam Young’s website Adam Young’s The Places We Find Ourselves podcastMore From Clarissa Moll: Clarissa Moll’s The Bulletin podcast Explore Clarissa Moll’s website Read Clarissa Moll’s substackSign up for Steve’s Newsletter & Podcast Reminders:Capable Life NewsletterNew Candles and Journals:https://www.stevecusswords.com/Get the Communication Styles Guide:https://capablelife.com/pages/podcastJoin Steve at an Upcoming Intensive: Capable Life IntensivesLearn more about your ad choices.
