Your personal relationships can be a source of suffering or joy. In this episode, Nadia Fadhila, shares how communicating mindfully can bring joy to your relationships. Nadia describes 3 pillars of mindful communication and practical sentences you can use when communicating and listening to better understand other people.

Nadia’s (https://instagram.com/nadiafadhila/) interest in mindful communication evolves around zen Buddhism, psychology, and her experience facilitating government, private sector, and civil society discussions at the United Nations.
