You’d probably never interrupt your boss mid-sentence, scroll your phone while they’re talking, or half-listen while thinking about your response. But in relationships, it’s easy to slip into those habits without realizing it.
Feeling heard isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about being present, curious, and actually taking in what the other person is saying. The same attention you give in professional spaces can completely shift the way you show up in your relationship.
What would change if your partner felt just as heard as your boss?
