Talking about tough stuff in relationships isn't easy. It's all about how we handle tricky talks. Like, how do we end a relationship? Or tell someone they can't work here anymore? Or even just give feedback? It's about being open and honest, even when it's hard. These talks can be tough because they bring up uncomfortable feelings, like hurt or anger. That's why we sometimes avoid them. But facing these conversations head-on is important for keeping relationships healthy. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the FREE TRAINING: - How to find move on and find happiness after heartbreak! https://www.happyheartacademy.com/movingon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get a copy of my book: THE BIG THREE https://amzn.to/3OWzDuN Watch on YouTube Here: subscribe to the youtube page for more episode of Honey I'm Home
