77 | How to Stop Misunderstandings with Men with Diane Lawbaugh

Hello Beautiful!

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with a man in your life and thought, “How did we just miss each other… again?” You said it one way. He heard it another way. And now you’re stuck in the same frustrating loop.

Here’s why it hasn’t been working: most advice about communication sounds great when everybody is calm… but real life conversations are usually happening when you’re tired, emotional, stressed, or already feeling unheard.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Diane Lawbaugh, PAX coach and author of Don’t Let Misunderstanding Win, to talk about how to break the cycle of misunderstanding and create conversations where both men and women can win.

This episode is for you if you have a husband, dad, son, brother, or male coworker and you want less tension, less guessing, and more connection.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

• a fresh way to understand why misunderstandings happen so easily
• what “winning” can look like for both sides, without keeping score
• a simple, practical shift you can try the next time a conversation starts going sideways

XO,

Michelle

Quote from Article written by Diane for the Neighbors of Franklin Magazine: "Try this simple change for a less stressful Valentine’s Day. Ladies,

figure out what would make you happy on Valentine’s Day. Share that

information with your partner. Tell them WHAT you want and let them

figure out HOW to provide it. This sets up both people to win! He knows

the specific goal to achieve, and you get what you want. This removes

so much stress. Or, you can continue assuming your partner should

know what you want “if he really loved you.” You’ll be surprised at

what can happen with clear communication by removing assumptions.
