Bringing up hard things in relationships is less about avoiding conflict and more about when and how you do it. In this episode, the hosts explore why timing, emotional state, and environment play a crucial role in whether a tough conversation connects or causes more disconnection. 

In this episode, we talk about relationship topics like 

- Timing Matters

- Check emotional, mental, and environment readiness

- The HALT acronym

- Practicing “priming”

- Don’t bring things up in the moment you’re upset
