How to Quit Being a Nice-aholic

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens.


For many of us, it can be a challenge to express what we really think, even in our most important relationships, because we seek to avoid conflict or disappointment. Unfortunately, this approach takes us further away from dealing with the real situation and we end up unhappy and suffering the consequences. I know because I, myself, used to be a “nice-aholic.”


In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share discrete action steps my coach taught me that enabled me to just take a deep breath, get clear about what I wanted, and tell the truth in a clear, honest way. I also discuss simple steps to having a difficult conversation.
