Ground beef sold at national grocery chain might be contaminated with E. coli, USDA warns - AL.com

By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.

By wanting to truly understand each other, despite feeling unheard.

By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”
