Summary
Welcome to episode 60 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, you'll discover what it means to be an introvert and how mindfulness can be useful for both introverts and extroverts (and everyone in between!) when it comes to communication.
Mindful communication tips:
1 // Practice communicating! Write down your thoughts and feelings if you need to, so you can clearly communicate more authentically.
2 // Mindfully reassure yourself if someone disagrees with you.
3 // Create space for someone else to talk so they feel heard, supported and validated.

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

| 1:01.0 | This episode will show you how our differences can be overcome, how we can increase our |

| 1:55.0 | quite a bit of time explaining aspects of my introverted self and we've had to learn how to balance my introversion with his |
