In this episode, Candice sits down with psychotherapist and author Dr. Patricia Timerman to explore the deeper layers of communication, conflict, and healing. From immigrating to the United States at 14 without speaking English to becoming a leading voice in relationship dynamics, Dr. Timerman shares how her personal journey shaped her groundbreaking work in communication.

In this episode, they discuss:

  • Why miscommunication happens even when intentions are good
  • The difference between intention, action, and perception in relationships
  • How assumptions create conflict and how to challenge them
  • Practical tools to communicate more clearly and effectively
  • The emotional impact of grief and how communication supports healing
  • Why “actions speak louder than words” is often misunderstood
  • How to become an active participant in your thoughts and reactions

This episode is a reminder that healing conversations are possible when we slow down, get curious, and choose connection over assumption.
