Ep 26: Difficult Conversations - How to Prepare and What to Review?

Last week we talked about the importance of having difficult conversations and why they are essential to the health of your relationships, as well as your own mental wellbeing and for driving change on a larger scale.
But even with a framework for having difficult conversations, we can still fall short if we do not do the work ahead of time!
Without proper preparation, we may find ourselves approaching these situations with a negative attitude, a hidden motive, or an unwillingness to seek understanding - which only creates further conflict!
By being introspective, and managing our mind ahead of time, we can prepare ourselves for these tough communication exchanges. When we approach difficult conversations with clarity and curiosity and compassion, we ultimately achieve better outcomes.
On this week's episode of Daring DVM, I will be building on last week's discussion by taking a look at the art of preparing for a difficult conversation and how to review the conversation after the fact.
I will walk you through a framework to get clear on your intentions, cultivate a solution-focused mindset, help you regulate yourself, and show up as somebody who can raise their concerns and initiate challenging discussions with precision, goodwill and compassion.

Ep 25: Difficult Conversations: How To Have Them

Have you ever avoided having a difficult conversation with a friend or colleague or family member?
If you have, you might already know how harmful it can be, to both you, and the relationship with the other person, and sometimes even to the other person themself.
Whether it's a small annoyance or a major problem, leaving something unaddressed can breed resentment and eventually cause the relationship to fail. And beyond this affecting you on a personal level, when you avoid addressing difficult conversations it can also lead to societal and even global implications.
Daunting as it can be, the ability to engage in healthy communication exchanges is crucial to making a difference in your personal life and the world at large.
In this week's episode of Daring DVM, I give you a framework to help you navigate difficult conversations with confidence, clarity and compassion.
Working within this framework, you will feel more empowered and authentic in the situations you face, and this will open the door for you to have more fulfilling relationships, decrease your stress, and gain greater mental strength and emotional resiliency.

Ep 17: Feeling Some Kinda Way

Join Dr. Amy on this week's episode to learn how to "Feel Your Feelings!!"
And more specifically, learn how to feel ANY emotion. Even negative ones!
Learning how to feel and to process negative emotion is essential to a healthy life.
Negative emotions are part of life. Yet many of us try to avoid them, no matter the cost to our mental health. 
In today's episode we explore the difference between resisting, avoiding and reacting to negative emotion.
Because when we do these things (avoid, resist, react), our negativity actually becomes all-consuming and we fall out of alignment with ourselves!
You'll also learn how to allow, process and accept negative emotion. This is an essential skill for a healthy life, because this is how we create peace within ourselves and learn to love ourselves again.
Come find out how!
