Effective Communication Skills with Vegan Psychologist: Clare Mann

The Eco-Minded Mama Podcast

Send Katie a Message with Your Questions/Thoughts! :)

Have you ever felt like you needed to hold back your truth for the sake of someone else's approval? Do you struggle to communicate effectively in ways that feel like both/multiple perspectives are being shared and truly heard? Have you found it challenging to navigate the trends of social media and current cultural norms while trying to find your own voice through it all?
Clare Mann, Vegan Psychologist, Existential Psychotherapist, best-selling author, speaker, advocate, AND communications trainer, joins Katie Kurpanek, Eco-Living Coach and Podcast Host, to share examples of effective communication within relationships. As part of her job and her personal nature, she shares "provocative" questions and thoughts that challenge both social and media norms, and she shares many "inconvenient truths" she has learned over the years as well.
Clare has claimed the "vegan" title for herself, and she helps me to introduce this brand new Season 3 where we'll be exploring all things vegan, but this conversation goes way beyond what we choose to eat and will leave you with treasured tips that you can apply to all your relationships!
