This week, J + L are back for another solo episode to cover a topic that sits paramount to any healthy and fulfilling relationship — in or out of the bedroom. They’ve spent the last year dedicated to learning how to facilitate conscious conversations, which inevitably played a leading role in strengthening their relationship with each other while also providing them with a roadmap for approaching conversations with others elsewhere. Together, J+ L lay out an easy-to-implement outline for you to rely on for even those dialogues you’re most afraid to have.     We also talk about: The fundamentals of conscious conversation: compassion, curiosity, vulnerability and personal responsibility Utilizing tracking, contact, and unconditional acceptance as skills for engaged listening Showing up in conversation with a willingness to be “wrong” Acknowledging both the validity of your emotions AND the possibility that there is more to any story than just one point of view Approaching vulnerability in a thoughtful and timely matter The importance of taking responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and needs How to navigate ruptures and repairs grounded in unconditional love The distinction between reacting and responding; listening and hearing Examples of how these conversations can be approached, facilitated, and cultivated     It’s no secret, J + L are big fans of CBD.
