あれから ５０年・・・・・・

カンパネラ爺が５０年前から こしらえているラッパは、工場の屋根を つきぬけて、
空中帝国から ずいぶんと空へ とびだしています。
空中帝国の ひとびとは、なん十年も かけて ラッパを こしらえるカンパネラ爺の行動に すっかりあきれ顔。しかし爺は おかまいなし。
「できたぞい」
ついに、だれも見たことがない大きなラッパを完成させたのです。
カンパネラ爺は、ヨロヨロとした足どりで、ラッパの根もとへと むかいました。

In this week’s episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies sits down with Jason Johnson, Emotional Freedom & Transformation Coach and author of Detrimental Kindness: How Not to Lose Yourself While Helping Others.

Jason helps people break free from over-giving, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment disguised as kindness. His work is about reclaiming boundaries, rediscovering your voice, and learning to live with confidence and emotional truth, not guilt or fear.

Through his powerful message and lived experience, Jason shares how to stop betraying yourself in the name of being “nice” and start living a life rooted in authenticity, clarity, and freedom.

✨ In this episode, Jason shares:

💬 What “detrimental kindness” really means — and why it’s so common for high achievers
🧠 How fear of judgment leads to self-silencing in relationships and workplaces
💪 Practical tools to build boundaries and emotional resilience
🌍 How to reconnect with your authentic self and communicate with confidence
💡 Why breaking free from over-helping leads to stronger, healthier connections

Whether you’re a professional who struggles to say “no,” or someone who constantly puts others first, this episode will help you recognize your worth and start setting boundaries that protect your energy and peace.

This phrase is one of the most important and valuable in any workplace. Sometimes you may need to ask your colleagues for help. And it is the most polite way to do so. For example:

Do you have a minute?
This phrase is also widespread in the workplace. You can use it when you need to talk to your colleague but don’t want to bother them too much. For example:

Do you have a minute? I need to ask you about the project we are working on.

I’ll be right there.

I’ll be right there. I just need to finish this report.

What do you think?
This phrase will come in handy if you need to ask for opinions or suggestions. For example:

Here are just a few to get you to be clear that a simple English is the key - there is no need to make it too complicated when you speak to others, the main thing is that the communication is polite, respectful and in a manner where everyone understand's you.
