Why We Feel Unheard--Trying to Speak to the Heart From the Head

This week I share about my desire to teach someone a lesson when I felt wrong. I unpack why we go into teacher mode when we are hurt or disrespected, and how this actually harms connection rather than fosters it. As humans, we often try to use our heads to solve problems of the heart, and then we wonder why our kids/friends/partners don't hear us--we are speaking with cognition, when others are in a realm of emotion. Listen in to hear how I did the thing I didn't want to do (reveal my heart, because it made me feel like I was giving up more power) and how it ultimately got me what I wanted: heard and more connected.
