The kind that isn’t built on charisma, cleverness, or charm—but on something deeper: who you are, when you speak.We often think connection is external—about how we express, persuade, or lead.

Now, here's what's new on Passion Struck. This month, we're beginning a new series I'm calling The Connected Life. Because communication isn't just a skill to sharpen. It's the thread that ties us to each other and to ourselves. It's how we lead, how we love, and how we make meaning. Not just through words, but through presence. Awareness and emotional clarity.
We're kicking things off with some of the most thought-provoking conversations I've had on this show. Last week, we started off the series with organizational psychologist, Dr. Andrew Brodsky, who revealed what most virtual teams overlook, that our environments, screens, and silence aren't just technical, they're emotional. And when the camera's off, so is connection.
