This week, Blanca Cobb, an internationally recognized body language expert and psychologist, and I discussed the role of communication and body language in relationships. Blanca explained why people often struggle to express their emotions and how misinterpreting body language can lead to conflicts. The key points were emotional safety and open dialogue.

We also discussed the differences in communication styles in multicultural relationships. Blanca introduced the "Oreo cookie approach" for difficult conversations, which involves starting and ending with positives and addressing the issue in the middle. We touched on the challenges of virtual communication and emphasized the importance of face-to-face interactions for serious discussions.

Blanca shared details about her upcoming projects, including an online course to improve communication skills and prevent arguments and a concierge coaching service for on-demand relationship advice. She highlighted the importance of observing a partner's baseline behavior and asking non-threatening questions to understand their emotions. This episode offers practical tips and strategies for improving communication and building stronger relationships.
