Why We Avoid Hard Conversations

Send us Fan MailMost people don’t avoid hard conversations because they don’t care.They avoid them because they do.In this episode, Michael and Shannon talk about why we avoid the conversations we know we need to have — fear of conflict, fear of being misunderstood, and the risk of damaging relationships.But avoiding the conversation doesn’t remove the problem.It just delays it… and often makes it heavier.Because the longer we stay silent, the more space we give for assumptions, frustration, and distance to grow.At some point, the conversation may need to happen. Other times it may not.The question is when — and at what cost.
