Being Unapologetically Authentic with Jean Tien

STEP 5 to Collaborative Conflict: EXPANSION

In this episode, I dive deep into the final step of the PAUSE framework - "E" for EXPANSION.

Conflict can be either destructive or constructive, and the key is to approach it with the mindset of helping everyone expand and grow, not just yourself.

Conflict is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be hard or negative - it can be an opportunity to create something new and exciting when approached the right way.

If you're tired of conflict bringing you down, and want to learn how to turn it into a positive, growth-oriented experience, you won't want to miss this episode. Tune in to discover the power of the PAUSE framework and how it can transform the way you handle differences. It just might change the way you approach conflict.

STEP 4 to Create Collaborative Conflict: SPEAK

In this episode, I discuss the 4th step of my 'PAUSE' technique - "S" for SPEAK.

Despite popular belief, you don't always need to say the things...I believe in the importance of carefully considering what you say, why you're saying it, and whether it's necessary to say it at all.

I also share examples of how speaking reactively can escalate conflicts, versus speaking with the intention of de-escalating and finding a collaborative solution.

Productive conversations require reflection and choice.

How to Advocate For Yourself at Your Next Doctor's Appointment

Ever feel intimidated at your doctor's office?

It can be scary to walk into your doctor's office. We see them as an expert and the key to our health. They know more than us about our medical conditions and it can be intimidating.

Doctors are human too. Humans make mistakes. This is why it's so important to have open and honest conversations with your doctors. This is why I'm so excited to have Brooke Hoover on my show.

Through her own experience of misdiagnoses, Brooke believes that patients should take an active role in their healthcare by asking questions, taking notes, and advocating for themselves. She shares that effective communication in medical settings is crucial, with empathetic listening, open-ended questions, and body language being key components. Medical providers must prioritize communication and create a safe, inclusive environment for patients.

It's about watching the magic happen as misunderstandings clear up and relationships get a facelift.
