In this episode of The Fearless Foodie Podcast, Amy sits down with executive coach Angharad Ross to get unapologetically honest about having bold, brave conversations at work—especially in the fast-paced world of food and retail. Drawing from their experience in commercial roles and coaching, Amy and Angharad explore why tough conversations are so complex (hint: blame your brain!), how to work with that natural anxiety, and practical ways to get more comfortable with discomfort. From the boardroom to your own front door, they remind us that the trickiest conversations are often the ones closest to home—and avoiding them does more harm than good. Get ready for real talk on effective communication, honesty, and negotiating (even with your own husband about the car settings), with a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re negotiating with a retailer or hashing things out with a teammate, this episode is packed with wisdom, actionable strategies, and a hefty dose of empathy for anyone working in food manufacturing, retail, or beyond.
