It seems like it gets harder and harder every day to talk to someone when you have a difference of opinion. From politics to "mom guilt" to the right and wrong way to farm, everyone has an opinion – and is more than eager to share it with you.

But what happens when you want to maintain a relationship with that person and controversial, hot button issues keep getting in the way? In this episode, Wade and Amanda sit down to share ideas for how to approach uncomfortable conversations. This includes:

• Having a good understanding of why you are (or aren't) having this discussion
• Being aware of how you're showing up
• Recognizing the danger of judgement
• Knowing when to take a time out

And more!

A difference of opinion should never get in the way of a friendship, romantic relationship or even business dealing. Try out some of these tips to work through those moments when you're getting fired up – and see if you can keep your cool!
