Conversations from the Heart

As someone passionate about NVC and personal growth, this podcast is by far the most valuable one I listen to. I’ve also gone through Yvette’s Human 101 online course. The wisdom and guidance I find here is unmatched. It’s one thing to read about NVC, and another to fully absorb and embody it. And while NVC has its place I also appreciate that Yvette has the kind of expertise and background to name its limitations and supplement with other skillets and perspectives too. I’ve never gone to the trouble of writing a podcast review, but it’s the least I can do to thank her for all that she brings to improve my life. Thank you Yvette!

I’ve been absorbing Yvette’s teachings for nearly two years now. Her very human approach to navigating difficult conversations is both simple and intellectual. She carries a peaceful reassurance to every proposed interaction and does so with an authentic joy in her heart. While she often calls upon an NVC framework for her guidance, I personally love the way she comfortably weaves in expressions of universal needs and circumstantially supposed feelings with each resolution. It brings a therapeutic realness to the table I appreciate.

I’ve been listening to Dr Erasmus for a while now and am always left feeling calmer, clearer and more hopeful, knowing that we have teachers like her in the world. She brings a unique voice to those wanting to live the principles of NonViolent Communication and weaves her own vast experience, deep empathy and lightheartedness to heavy and difficult situations. I’m so grateful for this podcast to help amplify her voice and message.

If you have a longing for relational living with no regrets, for living your best life and interacting with people in kind, direct and authentic ways, I suggest this call. It inspires me every week. It is the most practical how-to for peace that I’ve ever known.
