Episode 4: 10 Tips to Improve your Communication Skills
Lemons and Pineapples
11/15/24 • 24 min
It's EPISODE 100 of the PODCAST!!!!
This week's episode is all about improving your communication skills.
Do you struggle to get your point across? Are you constantly experiencing some sort of friction with people in your life or work? Maybe you wish people would listen to you more?
I hear you!
The good news is that effective communication is a skill, it's one you can learn and once you master it, it'll change the way you interact with everyone in your life. Learning to communicate with patience and kindness has been a journey for me and in this episode I share the strategies I've implemented to vastly improve my relationships AND get my needs met in the process.
Episode highlights:
- Listening to understand, not simply to respond
- How learning to really hear what someone is saying will deepen your connection
- Being mindful of non-verbal cues and what body language reveals
- The enormous value of using "I" statements when communicating your feelings and needs
- How and why to ask open-ended questions
- The art of patience in conversations
- How to stay present in the moment when you're talking to someone
- Why being direct is important
- Reflecting back what you've heard to ensure you've understood what's been said
- The art of coherent communication
Mis-communications and missed communication comes up frequently in my client coaching sessions. We often interpret what someone has said to us through the lens of our own perceptions and world view which can cause confusion. I help my clients to communicate clearly and calmly when they are both speaking and listening.
Clear, compassionate and kind communication is a skill I love helping my clients develop and it's a game changer, so if this is something I can assist you with, please pop me an email to find out more - [email protected]

Episode 9: 7 Steps to a Happier New Year
Lemons and Pineapples
01/05/25 • 21 min
If your 2024 was anything like mine, you'll be hoping for a reprieve this New Year.
Despite some lows in what was a tricky year, there were also some great learnings which I'm sharing with you in the first podcast of 2025.
Have a listen to discover:
- How to find gratitude where you are, even if it's not quite where you want to be right now
- The value of setting clear, attainable goals and how to go about doing so
- How to get out of the comparison trap
- Why speaking your truth is so incredibly important for your happiness
- Why listening to your feelings rather than shutting them up is a game changer
- New ideas for self-care practices to boost your mood
- The key to doing more of what makes you happy
Speaking of which, I'm heading in a bit of a new direction with my coaching in 2025. After quietly enjoying 18 months of deep spiritual practice, which I've purposely kept well tucked away (hello worrying about what everyone will think) and what's turned out to be a mid-life awakening, I'm leading with my intuition henceforth.
I've added Intuitive Clarity Sessions into the mix as well as making coaching available by the hour so that my work is more accessible for more people - find out more here.
