In this episode, we learn how defensive language (in trusting relationships) can stop our conversations and relationship development. We explore three ways to trade comfort for growth (TC4G) through acknowledging our own bad habit, as well as learn why perceived threats can be so hard to shake.

In this episode, we learn why the message received is the one that counts. We discuss why what we “intend” does not always equal the impact of our messages. Also, does everything said mean something? Or can some things we say be meaningless?
