Today we delve into the theme of effective communication in relationships and partnerships.

Jen draws on insights gained from thought leader Alison Armstrong who recently endured a particular struggle.

Key topics in this episode include the "process of clarification" to prevent misunderstandings in partnerships, the importance of repeating back what your partner says, documenting agreements, and ensuring kindness and compassion in communication.

Jennifer emphasizes the value of discussing issues in the 'green zone' rather than the 'red zone,' and highlights techniques to determine if it's the right time for a conversation. She illustrates these points with an exercise from Armstrong's workshop and a personal anecdote, urging listeners to recognize and overcome their need for control to foster authentic connections.
