Call Me Tony
After taking a step back from this project to decide whether or not to continue, I've opted to keep moving forward. I had a concern that there might be too much overlap between "Call Me Tony" and "In The Blood" but I've come to the conclusion that there are enough distinctive differences to allow both shows to coexist.In the coming weeks, I'll explain further and release new content.Thank you for listening!
Current Episode
In this episode, I’m talking about how conflict shows up in our lives and what we can do to handle it better. We all deal with conflict, but sometimes we avoid it because it's uncomfortable. Instead of letting things simmer, why not face it head-on?I’ll be sharing different ways to work through conflict, like actively listening, using nonviolent communication, and knowing when to step back. It’s OK to say “ouch” when we’re physically hurt, so why not when the hurt is emotional?Join me as I talk about taking responsibility for our own emotions and reactions, and how that can lead to stronger, healthier relationships.Episode is available on major platforms or by clicking here
