#SundaysWithSandy - How to Stop Overfunctioning and Watch How He Really Shows Up

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.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.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.In this episode:What walking on eggshells looks like in a relationshipWhy people avoid hard conversationsHow to be honest without driving the other person awayPractical ways to turn conflict into connectionConnect With MicahWebsite: https://artofnvc.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/artofnvc/ FB:  https://www.facebook.com/artofnvc YT: https://www.youtube.com/@artofnvc ►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio or Spotify https://tinyurl.com/lfdradio ►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 https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Free Quiz: Find out if you're really ready for the relationship you want! https://lastfirstdate.com/dating-relationship-readiness-quiz/  ►Free Facebook for women https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get my books: Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Submit your dating dilemma to be answered on my podcast https://tinyurl.com/datingdilemma ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ► TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@lastfirstdate1 ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate
