This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

I thought a nice mood setter for our topic today. Today we are talking about how to

tackle difficult conversations in such a way that they go as well as possible. It is important

for us to talk about this topic because there are a lot of difficult conversations to be had lately, particularly as we are heading into the holiday season in the midst of a contentious political season and with so many stressors and strains and angst and very real issues that people are facing,

there is tough stuff to talk about with friends, with family, with partners, with siblings,

with ourselves. And how you handle a tough conversation has a lot to do with the results

you get. So today we are going to be talking about why conversations feel so hard sometimes

and strategies that you can use to face those moments, not just courageously, but also with

confidence and a sense of competence and understanding some basic do's and don'ts that

will allow you to talk about important things.

We don't want to hide, but do so in a way that helps you create

the ideal outcome, which I think for many of us is to strengthen your relationships,

increase connection and understanding, and have it be a positive thing for all involved,

as opposed to an unproductive conflict.

Because I think we've had enough of that in our lives, right?

So that's what we're doing today.

And if today is your first time listening to the show, I'm so glad that you are here.

I am Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby.
