In this episode, we discuss a tough communication challenge...Stonewalling. TalkDoc walks us through the analogy of Stonewalling as a warning light on our relationship dashboard. It’s time we unlearn the habit of leaving the light on too long so the whole engine (i.e. relationship) doesn’t break down.
Join our carpool ride hosted by Dr. Pamela Kreiser (along with Teighlor Polendo and Meredith Edwards) for reliable, practical guidance to address these “walls” in ourselves as well as help our partners when we observe them in shutdown mode in front of us.

In this episode, we navigate the communication art of Reframing and how actively pursuing “reframe” can help us reevaluate events in our lives. Remember, beware the beast of comparison. TalkDoc walks us through powerful and learned tools that help shift our mindsets from fixed to growth. Even Michael Jordan has felt the sting of failure but his growth mindset helped him “reframe” and move into more opportunities for success. Join us as we learn to adopt optimism; don’t worry it’s not the cheap stuff.

In this episode, we dive into cultural differences of apologies, twisted apologies, and non-apologies. Taking responsibility is hard work, no matter who we are or where we come from. We also explore elements of a good apology and discover what the receiver is really listening for. Hint hint: a good apology isn’t about “you.”

In this episode, we learn why the message received is the one that counts. We discuss why what we “intend” does not always equal the impact of our messages. Also, does everything said mean something? Or can some things we say be meaningless?
