Hey everybody. Thanks for joining me. You are tapped into the listening years podcast with me, your host Vernae Bezear. This is episode one of my podcast. I am currently sitting in the garage And I said to myself, I need to start this podcast. I feel like We listen to people, we, Or we at least try to listen, But I, I want to go back to my teaching days when we told Our students to put on their listening ears. And It's difficult to listen. You can hear somebody, you can hear me, But are you listening? Are you truly taking in what the person is saying? Are you there for them? Are you Not thinking of a relatable story in your head? Or you're not thinking, okay. They said this, they said this, okay. Now let me fix it. You're just listening. And If you had to summarize what they said, you would be able to without putting Your own context into it. And I believe wholeheartedly that if we start incorporating listening ears In everything we do, I believe a lot of people out there will not only feel heard, but They would be heard. They would be able to hear and Listen, and Just be that ear That I believe is just, is just missing in our, In our world.

So yeah, if you liked any of what I just said, or any of what I said resonated with you, You can like comment, share, or send me a message. Yeah. Signing off.
