Ep. 341: The Art of Listening

Danny-J has a special skill, and it’s one we could stand to learn from. Danny might just be the world’s best listener. No matter who she’s with or where she is, people just seem to end up telling her their life stories (even Uber drivers, true story) and finding deep connection with her. Being a great listener isn’t as intuitive to most people, but better connections can lead to better experiences and even better friendships. It’s an art form, and one you can learn, too. It all starts with working on our own judgements and projections, and leaning into curiosity. Basically, you just need more therapy. Maybe we all do.
