Take This Personally with Morgan Huelsman

We talk every day... but are we actually communicating? Morgan and Psychotherapist Jason Van Ruler explore why true communication is at the center of every relationship and why so many people feel disconnected despite being more connected online than ever before. From conflict and vulnerability to the loneliness epidemic, self-awareness, and meaningful conversations, Jason shares the five communication styles from his book Discovering Your Communication Type and explains how our childhood experiences shape the way we show up in relationships today. 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast for more episodes. 📲 Follow @jason.vanruler on Instagram  📚 Personality assessment & book details 📲 Follow takethispersonally & webgirlmorgan on Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darlene Lekowski lived with a secret for 50 years. What began as childhood trauma inflicted by two of her siblings turned into a lifetime of silence, survival, and hidden pain. But when that silence finally broke, it set off a chain of events no one could have expected... including a lawsuit and a courtroom fight for the truth. This episode is about more than what happened, it's about what comes after. Darlene opens up about reclaiming her voice, letting go of shame that was never hers, the long road from survival to healing, and the courage it takes to finally speak.  ⚠️ listener discretion advised: This episode discusses sensitive topics including abuse and trauma. 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast for more episodes. 📲 Follow Darlene on Instagram: @darlenelekowski 📚 Read the book: Shattering Silence 📲 Follow @takethispersonally & @webgirlmorgan on Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
