When Hearts Shout: The Distance Between Us

In this episode of Selah: A Deep Pause, Laura and Krissi dive into the art of listening, not just with our ears, but with our whole presence. Beginning with an ancient teaching about why we shout when we’re angry, Laura shares how distance between hearts shows up in relationships, and how listening can become a powerful act of love. Together they explore: Why anger and shouting often signal distance, not just emotion How true listening requires a willingness to be changed by what you hear The role of fear, protection, and old patterns in shutting down connection A deeply personal story from Laura and Tim about rebuilding their relationship on truth and authenticity Practical tools for couples (and friends) to create safe spaces for hard conversations The episode closes with a gentle somatic practice you can use to soften distance and invite heart-centered listening into your own life. 🎧 Thank you for joining us for this episode of Selah: A Deep Pause.
