Do you hear what I hear? We aren't referring to the beautiful Christmas song famously sung by Bing Crosby, but we are talking about active listening.
In this episode, we talk about how active listening is the key to making your relationships thrive. We've all heard the saying, "God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason." We should be listening twice as often as we speak and isn't that the truth? We think our world would be a different place if people took the time to really listen to each other.

"Boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to a sense of ownership. Knowing what I am to own and take responsibility for gives me freedom." - Boundaries

With the holidays coming up, we feel like it's the perfect time to have your boundaries in place especially since family members are the most likely to violate them.
