You’ve got a host chit-chat with just Renée and Melissa this week! Today, we’re having a fun time talking about tough conversations: why they’re difficult, getting more comfortable with them, and how avoiding them can keep you stuck on autopilot and further away from your goals.
We’re sharing some personal anecdotes and advice from professionals (because we need it) on:
- How avoiding tough conversations is harmful to your health
- The 4Ds for navigating difficult convos: discover, define, discuss, decide
- Whether using a timer can stop the discourse from derailing
- Why we all just want to be heard and acknowledged
- The pros and cons of a random “Hey, can we talk?”
- Which people in our lives are the hardest to broach difficult topics with
- Understanding and overcoming your trauma response – fight, flight, freeze, or fawn
- & so much more!
