LBF PODCAST

Join Host Kantoinette for a special episode featuring the Relationship Status Podcast crew; Nique Crews, CL Butler, and Yusuf in the building as we discuss how to have a hard conversations. We recap moments in our life where we’ve had to have tough discussions and how those moments played out. 

The conversation focuses heavily on how men and women communicate in relationships when issues occur and how we’ve experienced unhealthy, unhelpful ways to attempt a hard conversation. We even admit to being the culprits ourselves in some instances. 

This is an amazing conversation you don’t want to miss out on; here are a few questions you should ask yourself for this topic?

How do you have a “hard” conversation?

What have been your experiences with having hard conversations?

What have you learned from these types of conversations?

Do you get annoyed when someone texts “we need to talk later?” Why or why not?
