In this episode of SoulStirred, hosts Emily Garcia and Kasey Clark sit down with Matthew Gould for a meaningful exploration of how we show up in relationships and communication. Together, they unpack the power of taking ownership, the necessity of empathy, and the importance of showing up as allies rather than adversaries.

From social media’s influence on our sense of connection to the value of feedback as a growth tool, this conversation is packed with honest reflections and insightful moments. The trio explores how self-awareness and compassion can transform conversations and deepen our human connections—especially in a world that often values performance over presence.

Whether you’re navigating personal relationships or seeking more intentional communication, this episode offers tools and perspective shifts that inspire connection over conflict and empathy over ego.
