Do you ever hold back from sharing your opinion out of fear it’ll be different from those around you? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode, we explore the complexities of having difficult conversations when everyone has different opinions and is going to tell you why they are right. We emphasize the importance of self-trust, the need to navigate conversations with empathy and active listening, and the value of understanding our own core beliefs. Many conversations today seem to drive us apart, but if we can remember for just a moment that we are all humans, we can overcome that and come together instead.
