#110 | Courageous Conversations

We all struggle with conversations that require courage. We think that they will lead to unease in a relationship or lead to further misunderstandings. To top it off, the person at the receiving end may feel judged and unappreciated, ultimately only making things worse. Well, join us on Hearts+Minds with our Guest Maita Crowe as we unpack the great power of Courageous Conversations.

We explore what makes a conversation truly courageous. Is it about honesty, vulnerability, or something deeper? Maita explores overcoming fear, the cost of avoidance, and the power of emotional resilience. Learn how to navigate defensiveness and strengthen your capacity to be strong but kind, clear but gentle and ultimately lean into more secure relationships at work and in your personal life. 

With personal insights and practical takeaways, this episode equips you to engage in meaningful, transformative conversations. Tune in for wisdom, courage, and actionable steps!
