Key Takeaways:

• If we are willing to feel everything, we can do anything.
• Consider why you are not having hard conversations. It usually has something to do with what you don't want to feel (anger, disconnection, embarrassment, passive/aggressiveness, etc.).
• Hard conversations mean listening 80% of the time, not talking the whole time.
• Take a moment to think about the questions: What do you long for and how are you getting in the way of achieving that? What might you have to risk in order to pursue it?
