Clear Communication for the Confident Woman

Welcome back to another episode of the Love, Sex, and Freedom podcast. Today's episode features a recent conversation that Raven and Tara had on Instagram Live, where they discuss the hugely important and often overlooked art of clear communication. Mastering this skill and being able to say how we feel and what we want (and don't want) can have a huge impact on our lives, and nowhere is this more apparent than in romantic relationships. Raven's own journey from feeling stifled and blocked in previous relationships to today, where she is able to express her needs without fear, is evidence of how clear communication can unlock the confident woman within.

Raven shares the three key practices that have supported her in communicating confidently: feeling the depths of her emotions before speaking, steering conversations towards what she wants rather than what she doesn’t, and trusting the body’s signals over the mind’s analysis.

Tara and Raven also discuss the powerful role that breathwork can play in grounding us and how this can enable healthier communication. So if you're looking for ways to have more mindful communication and a deeper understanding of yourself and others, this episode is for you.
