Have you ever been frustrated with someone but held it in because you didn’t know how to say it? Or maybe you reacted in the moment—and regretted it later? I’ve been there. Over the years, I’ve learned a better way: pause, pray, and then speak with intention. In this episode, I share how I approach difficult conversations with wisdom, grace, and honesty. I also reveal the one rule I live by that has helped me avoid unnecessary conflict and miscommunication. If you’ve ever struggled with expressing your feelings without causing tension, this episode is for you.

Topics I Cover:

• The question a makeup artist asked me that made me rethink how I communicate
• Why I never bring up something in the heat of the moment
• The one-day rule I follow before addressing an issue
• How assuming the best about people’s hearts changes everything
• Why your friends and loved ones aren’t psychic—and what to do about it
• A simple mindset shift that can save your friendships and relationships

This week’s affirmation:

“I have the right to feel what I feel, and when I have to have a crucial conversation, I pray and use discernment.”

Practical Exercise / Homework:

• Think about a conversation you’ve been avoiding. What’s stopping you?
• Pray for discernment. Should you bring it up, or let it go?
• If you need to address it, choose a calm moment and start with this:
   “I know you meant no harm, but when you said/did ___, it hurt me.”
