Today, I discuss the challenges of having difficult conversations with the people we love. It’s never easy to bring up tough topics, and often we either avoid them out of fear or rush into them without setting the right tone, which can be triggering for your partner’s nervous system.
I talk about how to approach these moments with intention and making the other person feel safe and heard. I also share practical ways to set the tone and prepare both parties for the tough conversation, and how to take responsibility of your emotions throughout the entire process.
It’s not easy, but you got this! Join me and tune in now!
