Communication & Building Stronger Connections

Ever feel like you and someone you love are speaking totally different languages? In this episode of Between Us, Allison and Weslie get candid about how they communicate—not just with each other, but with the people closest to them. They share everything from funny stories (like Weslie’s two-year cold shower secret) to meaningful moments that have helped shape their relationship. Allison also reflects on how her communication with her own mom influenced the way she shows up as a mother now. It’s an honest deep-dive about learning to listen, staying present, and growing together—and a reminder that strong relationships are built one conversation at a time.  In this episode: Exploring communication styles (01:32) Communicating with one another (05:51) Weslie’s two-year stint of cold showers (12:23) The fear of being a burden (14:56) Being frugal (16:35) Communication in friendships (21:48) Astrology & Allison’s witchy side (28:31) How Allison and Weslie communicate (35:32) Texting etiquette (40:07) Allison’s communication with her own mom as a teen (43:17) Communication as a mother and a daughter (45:27) Advice for parents and teens on communication (50:16) Follow us on Instagram @between.us.pod, and subscribe to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@between-us-pod.  Leave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/betweenuspodcast  Thank you to our incredible sponsors!  Field of Greens: Get 20% off your first order.
