S7E23 - Personal Instruction Manuals
from The Spark File with Susan Blackwell and Laura Camien · host Susan Blackwell and Laura Camien
What if the people in our lives came with warning labels, gift receipts or invisible instruction manuals? In this episode of The Spark File Podcast, Laura and Susan explore the invisible “rule books” we all carry — the hidden needs, sensitivities, communication styles, expectations, and emotional landmines that shape our relationships and creative collaborations. From feedback preferences to friendship dynamics to the phrase “I might cry, but I still want you to tell me the truth,” this conversation gets honest, funny, vulnerable, and unexpectedly practical. Because maybe a little more clarity and awareness about who we are could save us all a little heartbreak. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
