In this re-release episode, host Traci Poe sits down with licensed professional counselor and grief specialist Jessica Frasier for a deeply insightful conversation on emotions, energy, and communication — both with others and within ourselves. Originally recorded as a past episode, this interview remains just as relevant and impactful today. Jessica shares her personal journey into the world of grief counseling and holistic mental health, unpacking how our bodies are constantly communicating with us through emotions, physical symptoms, and stress responses. Listeners will gain practical insight into supporting others through grief, setting boundaries, forgiving without an apology, and honoring the body’s signals — especially for women navigating leadership, business ownership, and multiple roles. This episode is being shared again because its message is timeless: effective communication starts with listening — to your body, your emotions, and the people around you. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to process what you’re carrying, this conversation offers meaningful guidance, compassion, and hope. Today is a re-release of one of our most impactful episodes of The Communicate Great Podcast. We’re bringing this conversation back because the message is timeless and continues to resonate deeply with listeners. In this episode, host Traci Poe sits down with Barb Pastuszko to explore a powerful and personal topic: do you listen to your inner critic—or your personal power? Barb shares insight into how our inner dialogue shapes the way we communicate, make decisions, and show up in our relationships and work. Together, they unpack how self-awareness, mindset, and intentional communication can help shift us out of self-doubt and into confidence, clarity, and authenticity. This conversation serves as an important reminder that effective communication doesn’t just happen outwardly — it begins within. By learning to recognize and challenge the voices that hold us back, we can communicate with greater purpose and impact. Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, seeking stronger self-trust, or wanting to communicate from a place of confidence and alignment, this episode offers meaningful insight and encouragement — which is exactly why we felt it deserved to be shared again.
