Mind Pilot Episode 80
In high-stakes jobs like emergency response or the military, being blunt and efficient is essential—but at home, it can break down your most important relationships. In this heartfelt episode of Mind Pilot, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps breaks down the communication traps many first responders and military personnel fall into, and how to avoid them. Learn the art of the “soft approach,” the power of the 5-to-1 praise rule, and why shifting your mindset from winning to resolving can change everything. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their marriage, deepen connection, and find balance between their professional and personal lives.

- WORK-HOME TRANSITION: Challenges first responders face shifting from command-style communication to emotional connection.
- THE SOFT APPROACH: Why tone and timing matter when addressing sensitive issues in marriage.
- THE 5-TO-1 RULE: How consistent, sincere appreciation can transform relationships.
