Communication is a big deal babe, and many times we don't even know how we're falling short at it. There are lots of moving parts, so I'm gonna help a sister out today and break down one part of good communication: Active Listening.
First off, it's not about you. It's about the other person. You are focused on hearing them and understanding them. Have body language that focuses on hearing them. This means eye contact baby!
Don't listen to discover what you're going to say next--listen to understand the situation and how they are feeling! Then, paraphrase to make sure you got it right! Maybe you didn't, and thats okay. They'll fill in the bits you missed.
Active Listening doesn't have to involve giving solutions, either. I recommend you ask early in the conversation if they want support and listening OR solutions OR both. Then you know what you're doing, and not doing!
