Dreams vs. Decisions: Mastering Communication in Relationships
When we can have our minds be open, when we can allow ourselves to be in a place of communication, that is not about cutting each other down, but being about excitement and joy and wanting to hear the other person's perspective and the other person's side and actually being interested in if I could have everything my way, here's what I would want, and then the other person says: if I could have everything my way, this is what I would want.
Imagine sharing your grandest dreams with a loved one, only to feel like you're speaking different languages. That's exactly what Rev. Rachel Harrison experienced with her husband. In this episode of 'Recover Your Soul', Rachel dives into the often tricky terrain of communicating dreams and decisions within relationships. She opens up about how she used to be labeled a 'dream killer' because her practical mindset clashed with her husband's visionary ideas, especially around home remodels.
It wasn't until they realized they were speaking entirely different languages—'dream' versus 'decision'—that they found a way to bridge the gap. Rachel's story is a heartfelt reminder that understanding and empathy can transform how we share our hopes and plans, not just in home projects but in every aspect of life. This episode isn't just for couples; it's for anyone looking to improve their communication skills and support their loved ones' dreams while staying grounded in reality.
Rachel's blend of spirituality, positive psychology, and practical advice offers a unique perspective on building stronger, more supportive relationships. Tune in for an engaging discussion that promises to leave you with actionable insights on fostering better communication and mutual support.
