There’s real brain science behind how we listen - and why it matters. 🧠

When you listen to respond, your brain activates areas linked to problem-solving and defense - you’re prepping your reply, not really hearing the other person. It’s more about being “right” than being present.

But when you listen to understand, a different network lights up: the default mode network. That’s the part tied to empathy, reflection, and connection. You’re not just hearing words - you’re feeling the meaning behind them.

One style builds arguments.
The other builds relationships.

Your brain already knows the difference. The question is: which part are you letting lead the conversation?

I love this
"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.
There was a pause.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.
"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."
"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.
"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.
"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.
"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'lI always be here for you, Pooh."
And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs. He thought that his best friend had never been more right.

Congratulations to Gina Ortiz Jones on her historic victory as San Antonio's next mayor! As a former Under Secretary of the Air Force, Jones brings significant government experience to City Hall as she becomes the first openly gay leader of America's seventh-largest city. Her victory in Saturday's runoff election with 54% of the vote makes her the first Asian-American woman mayor of a major Texas city. "San Antonio showed up and showed out," Jones declared to her supporters on Saturday night, emphasizing that "our city is about compassion and it's about leading with everybody in mind. So I look forward to being a mayor for all."

Jones defeated Rolando Pablos, a close ally of conservative Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in a technically nonpartisan race that saw her advance from a crowded field of 27 candidates in May. Her priorities include tackling San Antonio's persistent poverty rate, which has remained near 20% since the 1980s. "I want to make sure that we are a city that is serving everybody," she stated, with plans focused on expanding early childhood education, increasing affordable housing, and creating work programs for unskilled workers.

Raised in San Antonio by her Filipino immigrant mother who worked as an educator, Jones left the city in 1999 after receiving an Air Force R.O.T.C. scholarship to attend Boston University. She continued her education by earning advanced degrees from the University of Kansas and the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies. In 2021, President Biden nominated her to serve as Under Secretary of the Air Force, the second-highest-ranking civilian position in the Air Force. Looking forward, Jones observed, "We are a city that wants to move forward with everybody in mind and really not be so divisive."
