23: Courageous conversations

How do I tell my partner I want a divorce? How do I tell my family that grandma is dying? How do I tell my boss I'm leaving the job? These are difficult conversations. It's clear going in that they will be difficult. But possibly more important are the smaller conversations we avoid every day. Like that guy sliding in our DMs in an inappropriate way. Or that off-remark on the street as you get take-out. Kari and Tory take these conversations directly, in this frank and honest conversation about their failures in the past and their steps to walk directly into these moments. As women that can try to be people-pleasers and do and say what's expected of them, these are the conversations they need to reckon with. And it's essential for standing in your truth and building up your musculature. From saying no thank you on dating apps, to dealing with co-workers and friends demanding your time, this actionable episode will help you build boundaries while keeping your relationships strong and removing that energetic debris from your life. Because on the other side of these conversations is freedom. ABOUT THIS FEELS IMPORTANT This Feels Important is an exploration into the hairy, scary, weird, and sometimes orgasmic journey of navigating our ever-evolving relationships to self, others, and the world around us. Your hosts, Kari Keating and Tory Dube - along with a lineup of epic guests - open the floor for honest discussions about the taboo feels (sex! money!), the painful feels (miscarriages! divorce! grief!), and the fun feels (psychedelics! sex again!) that are inevitable, necessary and freaking important as we all navigate the highs, lows and in-betweens of the human experience. #thisfeelsimportant SHARE YOUR FEELS WITH KARI AND TORY Find the show on Instagram Share with Kari Share with Tory CREDITS Podcast edited and mixed by 51 features.
