Hey. How are u\n?\n\xa0\nYup, we're tired of it too.\xa0 If you're starting to feel as if the world no longer knows how to hold an actual conversation, you'll enjoy this talk I have with gender and communications professor Dr. Cassandra LeClair about accountability on dating apps, post-pandemic overwhelm, and the overall breakdown of boundaries in our dating experience and expectations.\n\xa0\nCassandra's journey to pursuing an understanding in communicating interpersonal needs and boundaries has always been clear, even if understanding why she felt the need to address unspoken fears, guilt, and shame was hidden beneath years of her own trauma.\xa0 It took a dramatic accident for her to suddenly come to terms with the stories she had been telling herself, cloaked under the mantra, "I'm fine." If you yourself have used "I'm fine" to muscle your way through hurt or pain, you're not alone.\xa0 Women often internalize shameful experiences as a normal part of growing up or "just the way things are" until they're able to heal themselves.\xa0\xa0\n\xa0\nWait till the end when I finally get to ask the question I've always wanted to know the answer to:\xa0 Do women and men just have totally different expectations with communication?\n\xa0\nLearn more about Cassandra\xa0here\nBuy her book on Amazon\xa0here\nListen to her\xa0podcast
