Conversations That Don't Suck

Kyla Sokoll-Wardpodcasters.spotify.com
In a world that is collectively starved for connection, why does it feel so hard to cultivate? Join Kyla Sokoll-Ward, millennial loneliness thought leader, in truth-telling conversations with community builders, professional empaths, and communication experts as we build a world where expressing your emotions is normal, having meaningful community is non-negotiable, and empathic communication is practiced on the daily. If you’re tired of the “What do you do?” and otherwise shitty conversations you keep finding yourself trapped in, you’ll love these deep-dive discussions around topics including connection, communication, community, and how to bring more realness to the world in a way that creates more belonging, not separation.
