Ep121: The Journey from Egoistic to Authentic Listening

Ever catch yourself just waiting for your turn to talk, rather than truly engaging with the conversation at hand? You're not alone. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the art and science of genuine listening, confronting common pitfalls like disregarding unfamiliar information or pretending to listen while our thoughts are miles away. We'll explore how truly engaging with the thoughts and ideas of others can not only enrich our understanding but also help us avoid the trap of egoistic listening. Listening is far more than a passive activity, it's key to building our self-esteem, fostering healthy relationships, and even feeling loved and accepted. Join us as we explore the impact of poor listening habits and how they can cost us valuable insights and even damage our relationships. Reflect back on how your own listening patterns over the past week might have shaped your experiences. This is your invitation to clear out the mental clutter, tune in and learn how to revolutionize your interactions by becoming a more present and authentic listener.Support the show=========================More episodes https://truthandtranscendence.comMore about Catherine / Being Space / Expansive Coaching https://beingspace.world✦ Explore Expansive Coaching If something in your life is beginning to open — or there is a sense of moving toward deeper alignment — you’re warmly invited into this work.This is a space for reflection, unfolding, and spacious conversation.A simple way to begin:🔹 Taste session (20–30 mins) — experience the work directly https://go.oncehub.com/TasteOfExpansiveCoaching🔹 Q&A call (15 mins) — ask questions and sense whether it feels aligned for you https://go.oncehub.com/ExpansiveCoachingQA🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: / https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: / https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://www.youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@beingspace.world Support the podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate
