Do you agree with the impact we could make if we collectively all got just a little better at our listening and communication? It definitely is an art and in this episode, we dive into the power of listening with our inspiring guest, Julia Barbaro - a homeschooling mom of six, certified life, marriage, and high-performance coach, and children's author. Julia shares her journey from loneliness and overwhelm to becoming a life coach, emphasizing the importance of listening and effective communication in building strong relationships. Julia's insights remind us that the essence of good communication starts with listening—truly listening. Whether it's with our children, spouses, or friends, the ability to listen without immediate judgment or advice can transform relationships and foster deeper connections.

Episode Highlights:

- Introduction to Julia and her multifaceted life journey

- The loneliness and challenges of motherhood

- Transitioning from feeling overwhelmed to finding purpose

- The importance of listening and effective communication

- Practical steps to improve listening skills

- Understanding and adapting to different communication styles within the family

I hope this episode encourages you to reflect on your own listening habits and embrace practices that enhance your communication skills and relationships. 

I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

J
