Send Mind Your Midlife a note

Have you ever been in the middle of an important conversation, only to feel like the other person wasn't really listening? Maybe they didn’t nod, make eye contact, or react the way you expected. But what if they actually were listening—just in a way you didn’t recognize?

In this eye-opening episode, Cheryl explores the four main listening styles and how understanding them can transform your communication, reduce frustration, and help you navigate relationships with more ease.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The four main listening styles—and which one you naturally use.
• Why someone who seems disengaged may actually be listening intently.
• How to adjust your communication style for better understanding.
• Simple ways to avoid misinterpreting someone’s response in conversation.

🎯 OMG Moment: Just because someone isn’t nodding or making eye contact doesn’t mean they aren’t listening!
