This week Skye and Amanda read How to Know a Person by David Brooks and talk about how to make those who we interact with feel valued, heard and understood. According to Brooks, despite this being extremely important to the human experience, many of us struggle with what it takes to really get to know another person and foster deep connection. 

Listen in as the ladies discuss what lies within what Brooks says is “the creative skill” of seeing others deeply and how gaining that skill then helps you to better see yourself.
