Revisiting how to be a more mindful communicator with Oren Jay Sofer

I want to take a moment to share some personal updates with you. As my husband undergoes cancer treatment, I’ve made the decision to replay some powerful past episodes of the podcast that I believe are just as relevant and impactful today. One of those episodes is a conversation I had with Oren Jay Sofer, the author of Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication. In our talk, Oren beautifully weaves together his experiences with meditation and communication to show how we can bridge the gap between inner mindfulness and how we connect with others. We dive into the heart of mindful parenting—focusing on presence, curiosity, and intention—and discuss simple, practical ways to bring these qualities into our everyday lives. I encourage you to really listen in. You’ll hear strategies for embracing those all-important mindful pauses, nurturing a genuine sense of curiosity, and shifting from blame to identifying needs in your relationships. These tools aren’t just theory—they can truly transform the way we show up for our kids, our partners, and ourselves. Let’s lean into these conversations together, with compassion and care.
