Are you defensive?

Anne Sale, host of the podcast Death, Sex & Money, and author of the new book Let's Talk About Hard Things on making space for the hard stuff as a way to deepen personal connections

I interviewed Anna Sale on my Instagram Live recently. Here, we talk a bit more about what it means to make space to talk about the hard stuff and why radical honesty isn’t the approach she chooses. I am such a huge fan of Anna Sale’s book and her podcast. Both make me feel less alone in the hard stuff and more confident to tackle the difficult conversations that I sometimes put off. Thank you, Anna.
