Just because someone replies to your text or your post doesn’t mean they are truly engaged with you.

When we communicate digitally, we often wear “masks” to protect ourselves from judgment or shame. We present a curated version of our lives. But genuine relationships are built when we are seen as we truly are, in all our “imperfect magnificence”.

When you slow down and engage fully, you'll find something richer than any notification could ever deliver.

Host Garfield King introduces the podcast, Consciously Connecting, which focuses on the profound distinction between basic communication skills and the deeper experience of human connection.

The series moves beyond traditional instructional advice to examine how art, music, and performance facilitate shared meaning without the need for structured language.

Listeners can expect bi-monthly episodes featuring interviews with creative professionals and leadership experts who share insights on building community and fostering empathy.

Ultimately, the programme serves as a reflective space for curiosity, encouraging an honest dialogue that prioritises authentic engagement over mere polished performance.
