Something More Human

What If You Don’t Want to Go?


Listen Later

You committed to an event and when the day comes... you really don't want to go. Why do we say no to connection, even when we want it most? From attending the Mile Long Table in Denver to peer pressuring our future selves, we're getting real about the emotional resistance to social events and why (and how) to go anyway. Whether you're unsure what to do in a room full of strangers or need to hear that awkward silences can actually be a good thing, this conversation is for you. 

Want to be a better conversationalist? Listen to our episode The Power of a Question
