May in Canada marks Speech and Hearing Awareness month. That inspired me to have a conversation about communication. I see so many patients struggle with communicating their needs and expressing themselves. Don't take my word for it, but in my experience, this lack of communication is a stress that affects our health. It's time for us to speak up for ourselves!

In this podcast you'll learn:

• What happens when we don't express ourselves

• Why we need to get better and expressing our needs, or setting boundaries

• The connection between self-esteem, your sense of value, setting boundaries, and integrity

• What my marriage taught me about communication and getting my needs met

• What is really going on when you're feeling triggered and what to do about it

• How to easily communicate in a way that won't put people on the defensive, and the big myth about what makes us feel things

• A simple technique to learn how to trust your intuition

• What to do in a group situation, when you're not comfortable with what's happening

• Three questions to ask yourself before you say, "Yes," to anything.
