What Feeling Do You Bring to Each Conversation?
With Barbara Patterson + Melissa Palazzo-Hart
In this episode, Barb and Melissa take Maya Angelou's famous sage wisdom and share the transformative power in showing up real and in the moment in our everyday connections.
What’s possible when we show up as our natural self in our intimate relationships, our businesses and our day to day interactions?
This episode includes beautifully articulated insights and anecdotal moments that convey ways in which our hosts have witnessed the power of getting more curious about what's right in front of them, rather than having so much of themselves on their minds.
