139. How To Give Feedback And Have Difficult Conversations When You Have Feelings

In this episode we’re talking about something that comes up all the time - avoiding difficult conversations because we don’t want to upset someone. You might tell yourself it’s about their feelings… but is it really?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason we shy away from being direct, giving feedback, or speaking up - because we’re trying to protect ourselves from our own discomfort.

This episode is an invitation to be radically honest with yourself about what’s really holding you back - so you can start to move through it towards saying those difficult things clearly and kindly.

If you’ve ever fluffed around an issue, softened a message so much it lost all clarity, or avoided a conversation entirely… this one’s for you.

You will learn:

• Why telling yourself it’s about them is a trap

• How to spot the real emotions you’re trying to avoid

• What makes hard conversations harder (and what makes them easier)

• The truth about control - and why you never really had it anyway!
