Conflict often starts not with what happened — but with how we describe it. In this episode, we explore Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a linguistic tool for transforming tension into connection. Using the science of emotion — its five components of feeling, appraisal, action tendency, motor activity, and physiology — we see how shifting from judgment to observation, from blame to need, can keep conversations open instead of shutting them down. A must-listen for anyone who wants to speak honestly — without causing harm. Listen if you want to learn how to turn difficult conversations into moments of mutual understanding.
