EP 738: How to Stop Walking on Eggshells in Your Relationships Featuring Micah Salaberrios

<p>Have you ever caught yourself choosing your words so carefully with someone you love that you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Many of us tiptoe around the people closest to us, hoping to keep the peace, and the peace ends up costing us a little more closeness each time.</p><p>Since Non violent communication is part of my own coaching work, I was delighted to sit down with Micah and explore how we can use NVC to speak honestly, stay connected, and feel at ease in our relationships. Whether you are dating, newly in love, or decades into a partnership, I think you will walk away with words you can use this week.</p><p><br /></p><p>Micah Salaberrios teaches Nonviolent Communication as a skill you can use when you are already upset. He is the author of The Art of Nonviolent Communication and his newest book, From Conflict to Connection. He hosts the Art of NVC podcast and has taught communication skills since 2016.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>What walking on eggshells looks like in a relationship</li><li>Why people avoid hard conversations</li><li>How to be honest without driving the other person away</li><li>Practical ways to turn conflict into connection</li></ul><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Connect With Micah</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://artofnvc.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://artofnvc.com</a>  </li><li>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/artofnvc/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/artofnvc/</a> </li><li>FB:  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/artofnvc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/artofnvc</a> </li><li>YT: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@artofnvc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@artofnvc</a> </li></ul><p><br /></p><p>►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts <a href="http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio</a> or Spotify <a href="https://tinyurl.com/lfdradio" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/lfdradio</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>►If you’re feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, apply for a complimentary 30-minute breakthrough session with me <a href="https://lastfirstdate.com/application" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lastfirstdate.com/application</a> </p><p><br
