In this hands-on workshop episode, psychotherapist Amy Bloom is back with actual scripts and word-for-word examples you can use. Amy reveals why tone matters more than words (it's the music people remember, not just the lyrics), how to fall on your sword to put others at ease, and the critical difference between being clear and being kind but vague. Whether you're an adult child trying to understand your parents' plans or a parent preparing to discuss succession with your kids, Amy walks you through exactly what to say, when to pause, and how to create safety in these high-stakes conversations. This is the practical follow-up to Episode 190—less philosophy, more action. Bring a pen.
