The 4 Ears: How We Hear More Than Words

Episode 17
3m | Aug 13, 2025

We rarely listen with just our ears — we also listen with our assumptions, emotions, and expectations. In this episode, I explore the Four Ears Model (Von Thun) and how it shapes our everyday conversations.
You'll learn:

  • What the four "ears" are and how they influence how we hear messages

  • Why misunderstandings happen even with simple words

  • How to listen in a way that fosters connection, not conflict

If you've ever thought, "That's not what I meant!" — this episode will give you fresh insight into why that happens and how to bridge the gap.
