181|From Feeling Unheard to Truly Connected: How to Rebuild Communication and Trust in Your Relationships with Laurie Thibert

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling… completely unheard?
 
In this episode of Interrupted, I sit down with author and relationship strategist Laurie Thibert to explore the ideas behind her book The CATR Theory and how it is helping people strengthen relationships both at work and at home.
Laurie introduces The CATR framework, a simple but powerful concept that compares healthy relationships to a four-legged table. When all four legs are strong, the relationship is stable. But when even one leg weakens, the entire structure can start to wobble.
We talk about:
• The meaning behind CATR and why each pillar matters• How the framework improves communication and trust• Why workplace relationships often break down• How leaders can build stronger teams and cultures• Practical ways to strengthen relationships at home and at work
Whether you lead a team, run a business, or simply want stronger personal relationships, this conversation offers practical tools for building stability, trust, and connection.
