In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Tee Diamond to unpack a question that hits deep in so many relationships—are you really listening, or just waiting for your turn to talk? We’re getting real about what active listening actually looks like, how we’ve fumbled it (yes, us too), and what it means to create space where both people feel heard, not just responded to. From miscommunication to defensiveness, and learning how to pause instead of pounce—we cover it all with honesty and a little laughter. Whether you’re trying to level up your communication in friendships, relationships, or family dynamics, this episode might just help you shift from reacting to truly understanding. Tune in. Let’s grow… Out Loud and In Progress.
