3x15 - Life Lately - Sharna and Randy on Speaking Up!
What if the key to feeling more grounded wasn’t changing your life, but changing how you communicate?
In this Life Lately episode of the Oldish podcast, Randy and Sharna sit down to reflect on the emotional rhythms of summer and the quiet shifts happening behind the scenes.
Sharna shares how, as she’s gotten older, she’s become more aware of the way she communicates, and how choosing honesty and clarity, especially in conversations with Brian, has created more ease and flow in her day-to-day life.
Together, Randy and Sharna explore the small but powerful ways we can show up for ourselves and each other when emotions run high, and the reminder that no matter who you are, we all need space to speak and someone willing to truly listen.
