Learning to Grow Vital Relationships Through Conversations That Matter with Celeste Headlee and Ronald J. Frederick

Original Air Date Wednesday, March 11, 2020 

When we are infants our first relationships create a blueprint for which all of our future relationships are based. As we engage with others through personal interactions and conversations, our brains sync up and we build rapport and form relationships. But, only if we are having face-to-face conversations and we are actively engaged in listening to the other person.

To discuss the effects our first caregivers and modern technology have on the quality of our relationships, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who wish to reignite conversations that matter within our vital relationships.

Celeste Headlee describes the chemicals our body creates when we have different kinds of conversations.

And, Ronald Frederick discusses how we can change the quality of our relationships by becoming emotionally mindful.
