Summary

Ever feel like we're all walking around with unspoken truths weighing us down, especially in our closest relationships? In this episode with Justin Jones-Fosu we unpack the tricky ways we avoid hard conversations, often thinking we're preserving harmony, but ultimately creating deeper divides and a sense of isolation. Justin's openness about his own journey really sets the stage for a truly vulnerable exploration of connection and disconnection. This conversation isn't about offering easy answers; it's about acknowledging the complexities of being human and relating to one another authentically. If you're craving a deeper understanding of why genuine connection can feel so challenging and how we might begin to bridge those gaps, then join us. This is an episode that will resonate long after you've finished listening.
