I didn’t grow up with examples of healthy conflict. I learned to avoid it, to keep the peace, to let things go even when they didn’t feel good. And now, in my 30s, I’m learning something completely new; how to have hard conversations, how to tell the truth, and how to risk the relationship in order to actually have one that’s real.
In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been unfolding for me as I move through friendship shifts, breakups, and deeper levels of honesty in my relationships, especially in this season of motherhood where my capacity has changed and I can’t keep pretending anymore.
This episode is for anyone who struggles to speak up, who fears that honesty might cost them the relationship, or who is quietly holding onto things that don’t feel right.
Highlights:
Why avoiding hard conversations can take a bigger toll than having them
What it actually means to “risk the relationship” and tell the truth
The grief and reality of friendship breakups (and why we don’t talk about them enough)
Why expecting others to read our needs sets everyone up for failure
Recognizing when a relationship can evolve… and when it’s time to let it go
