Transcribe →I presented to my pharmacy school about my most embarrassing moment + secrets to communication: here's what I spilled
4w ago00:24:49Tap to summarizeI was invited back to my pharmacy school as a guest speaker about patient communication and boy was it an amazing experience! I never would have thought 10 years ago when I had one of my most embarrassing moments in school that some day I would be back in the very same room talking about it, and sharing how this is the thing I'm known for now! If I have any message to share, it's that anyone can improve at the art of the communication, and it's actually the only thing that matters at the end of the day. And who knows, maybe if you work on the thing that brings you the most shame, in 10 years youll be on a stage speaking about it! In todays lecture I scratch the surface on topics like the formula to being charismatic, how to validate others, and the importance of being open minded and allowing yourself to be surprised.

Transcribe →"my work bff betrayed me" & "my sister is always the favorite": confronting resentful feelings - chief complaints advice segment
Mar 3100:18:59Tap to summarizeSolo Pastor Connie is here to help you work with some resentful feelings as we help 2 pinchers unpack their Chief Complaints! Our anonymous advice segment where you submit your questions and I give advice. Todays questions: 1. "I just found out my work best friend has been interviewing for other jobs and didn’t tell me. I know it’s professional decision but it feels like a betrayal because we used to always vent about how much we hated our jobs and couldnt survive without the other person" 2. "My little sister is always the favorite, when I tell my parents they say I should be happy for her but I always feel like the lesser sibling" We chat about things like harsh realizations about relationships and not being as close as we thought we were, pulling on the loose thread that maybe we're not where we're meant to be, and how to clap for ourselvea even if others don't, or the double edged sword of being the favorite.
