What Am I Actually Trying to Say?
Have you ever rehearsed a difficult conversation over and over without getting any closer to knowing what you want to say?
In this episode, we explore why that happens and how getting clear before a conversation can help you communicate with greater confidence and purpose.
You'll learn how to separate what happened from what you're feeling and assuming, identify what you need, and use five questions to prepare for a more productive conversation.
In this episode:
- Why we get stuck rehearsing conversations in our heads
- The difference between facts, feelings, and assumptions
- Five questions to ask before a difficult conversation
- How to turn frustration into a clear request
Your challenge: Pick one conversation you've been avoiding and work through the five Get Clear questions.

Bring communication skills to your organization: If your women's ERG, leadership team, or organization wants practical communication workshops or group coaching, contact us to start a conversation.
If this episode helped you, share it with a friend or colleague and leave us a review.
Thanks for listening! Remember, Speak Clearly & Listen Bravely.
One final production suggestion: keep the Get Clear worksheet as the episode's one main tool. The facts-feelings-assumptions distinction supports the worksheet, rather than becoming a second competing framework. That makes the episode easier to remember and gives listeners one concrete action to take immediately.
