The importance of listening and responding in conversations in life and Divorce Recovery - Rob An...

In this podcast episode, I introduce Rob Anthony who discusses the importance of listening and responding in conversations, particularly in heated discussions. Rob's new podcast 'Are We Done Yet?' explores the concept of being polarized in conversations. He reflects on his personal experiences in divorce and the lessons he has learned. While discussing the importance of disagreeing with kindness in the divorce recovery space, as well as in general, Rob also delves into the significance of boundaries in life and work, and the power of saying 'no' and setting core principles. The conversation explores various aspects of divorce and relationships, including rationalizing boundaries, work-life balance, managing finances during divorce, collaborative approaches to finances, gender dynamics in divorce, and shared accountability. Rob did apologize for his dominating story-telling ways but there was no need from my perspective - I know quite a few men out there that needed to hear what he was dropping.  Thanks Rob!  Definitely we'll have to podcast again soon.
