We all have had moments -- or are dreading future moments -- when we need to have a hard conversation. These are usually ones where we're worried about hurting someone's feelings or disrupting status quo. Maybe we have to deliver some difficult news. What if they take it personally? What if they become upset? What if they let it impact the relationship? Most importantly, what if we don't have the conversation? In this episode we explore some of the thoughts and emotions that might spool up our anxiety and get in the way of having these conversations in a productive way or at all, and suggest some ideas about how to have them as painlessly as possible.

Communication Matters, with Brian and Shauna Smith, is about communication and the human condition. A mental health counselor and speech-language pathologist discuss the vastness of communication and relationships, and provide tips and tricks for improving interpersonal communication skills. This all while being a married couple barbing, bickering, and bantering on these topics without killing each other on the air.
