You know when you want to share something but it doesn’t seem to come out right?

You worry that you’ll be misunderstood or judged for what you are sharing. Perhaps, you are so worried about how it might hurt your partner, that you choose to sugarcoat your real feelings. Or you opt for saying nothing at all.

Maybe you talk a LOT. But somehow, exactly WHAT you want to say isn’t being communicated or you choose to stick to lighter topics, wanting to avoid any tension.

So whether you are the BEST talker in the world or you second guess everything before (and after) it comes out of your mouth, is communication really THE biggest key when it comes to relationships?

Could it be, that there is something else that can make or break just how deeply connected your relationship can be?

Press play for the second episode in this series Conflict to Connection, and let’s find out!
