Read The Room Cavanaugh James

It's incredibly tempting to settle for "good enough" in life. Let's be real, this might show up in our work performance, our relational practices, or in how we function in life. But I've got a friend on today who I know doesn't settle for less than the best. Whether it's in her relational world, how she shows up in her career, or how she shows up in life altogether, Tia Bowen is one always reaching for better. In this ep, she's going to help us all reach for a bit more.
What I think is especially great about this convo is how thoughtfully Tia has walked through transition in her life and how she talks us through that. She knows how to show up to the parties she's invited to in life, but also knows when it's time to leave. She's not afraid of hard decisions and I feel like she's making those hard calls a bit easier for each of us today. Take some of the wisdom, some of the peace you can hear, and hopefully some courage to do hard things.

Romantic relationships are fraught with challenging dynamics to deal with ... 👀 or not. Even deciding you're ready to date is challenging, well it was for me at least. The question is, if you're not dealing with what is, if you can't call a thing a thing, and if you're not willing to work through the "hard" stuff with your person, then what's the point of partnership? I have two people joining me today who aren't afraid of relational work and their lives are a testament to that fact. 

Although I've interviewed Ryan and Nikki separately, I'm so excited for you to join us for this vulnerable conversation. I'm letting you all in a bit more to where I'm at in my own pursuit of a romantic relationship while I pick the brains of two people I love an incredible amount. I left this conversation feeling confident about myself and unbothered by my singleness. I believe you will too if you're in a similar boat, but maybe not for the reasons you think. When we work on ourselves and are willing to genuinely ask and answer the hard questions we're sometimes fearful to, we realize our very willingness to engage the difficult parts of ourselves, makes us even more equipped to meet and healthily bring someone into our life. 

You've got this. WE'VE got this. ✊🏼

I often think about where exceptional people skills are developed.  Are they innate, encouraged or discouraged by surrounding, maybe a combination? Today, I’m asking this question and many more of someone I believe to be in an expert in this field, among many others. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is an international juggernaut of an icon, yes. But beyond that she is supremely astute, intentional, aware, and kind. Join us for a vulnerable conversation about all the ways in which we steward our own success when we steward people. 
Priyanka knows the connection between her awareness of another and her ability to meet a moment boldly and with conviction. She uses it lovingly and with precision that has impressed me from first meeting. Oh, we’ll also talk about that. What did we first think of each other? What have been the biggest surprises of parenthood and building a family? 
And more than that, she’s doling out some serious advice and bankable wisdom. What would she say to someone navigating major change, wanting upward advancement, looking to expand in a current role? 
Well you’re going to have to listen to find out!

If you want to know what I'm about as a person, what drives me (and the heart behind this podcast/book), and what I aim to spend the rest of my life talking about, this is the episode. It's not only because my book comes out next week (Apr. 23), but because I genuinely need to understand someone's heart before I can take what they're saying seriously. Anybody else out there?

So hop in for an interview of sorts, but more so, a forecast of the conversation we're going to have if you order Read The Room. I hope the book reaches you right where you are, as I hope this podcast has and does. By the end of this conversation you're going to know exactly why I think reading the room well is non-negotiable, for my life, and I believe yours too.

I can't believe we've come to the end of the year! Before we all tuck away for a quick few weeks, I wanted to have my dear friend Natalie Martin (licensed therapist) back on to help me tackle a few things I know may be on people's minds around the Holidays. We're also divulging what Christmas song we think we are, the ones we think can go away, and giving each other grief in the meantime ... Because that's what friends are for tbh.

Before we send you into all of your holiday festivities, and eventually NYE, we wanted to thoughtfully talk through some tricky dynamics we know can be attached to this time of year. My hope is that there's something helpful in here for each of us. I love being able to have real convos exactly like this one each week, I'm so grateful that you come by to hang out with me and my friends, even if this is your first episode to listen in!

I'll be back with all new episodes January 12th. Until then, if you're curious to know what I'd love for Christmas I'll happily tell you. I'd be so grateful for you to take just a minute and rate and review this show ... now, I know I don't need to say it but I will, I'm talkin' about 5 stars okay? Okay thank you.😂 😎
