It's been a while since I've had Matthew on the show, so today we sat down for a fun Q&A. For Christmas I gave him a Truth or Dare card game for couples.

71. Teaching Our Kids & Teens to Be Good Conversationalists
Recently I was asked to speak to a high school leadership class and decided to speak on the topic of how to be a good conversationalist. This sent me into a deep dive learning about the topic, which I found to be fascinating. Most young people are not intentionally taught how to converse with other people. On today's episode, I offer 9 tips to be a better conversationalist. I'm certainly not the expert, but the more I learn about it, the more I want to know and the better I want to be. Further, I want to make it a mission to help young people get better at this important skill.

69. How to Fill the Emptiness Within
A lot of us feel empty inside and think we can fill that void with more money, more stuff, more friends, a bigger house, a new hometown, different job, less wrinkles, nicer clothes, a fancy car, etc. But the truth is, we already have what's needed to fill the emptiness if we take the time to do the inner work. If we don't take the time, we'll keep feeling miserable. Similarly, we don't need to change for the outer world or for other people's expectations. Instead, we need to unapologetically be ourselves and then the world around us will change.

57. How to Be More Authentic
In today's episode, I talk about how we can be our most authentic selves, and if we've forgotten what that feels like, how to get back there. We go through times in life where we slide into phases of inauthenticity in an attempt to fit a mold, please others or play a role. Some think conforming feels safer, but it's a false sense of security. Trying to be someone else takes an exorbitant amount of physical, mental and emotional energy. When we are inauthentic, we have trouble enjoying life, developing deep relationships and pursuing our passions. When we allow ourselves to fully be who we're meant to be, life becomes much easier and more joyful. We feel it and those around us feel it. I hope today's episode not only encourages you to be more authentic but also offers some practical strategies to get moving in that direction.
