In this episode, I sit down with guest co-host writer, producer and all-around creative Chijioke Elizabeth Obi to discuss strategies in effectively communicating the hard things to the people you love. There was so much ground to cover so this is only part 1 of what will be an ongoing series on communication and relational intelligence. This topic is close to my heart because I'm such a profound advocate of not sweeping things under the rug. SAY THE THINGS. Do the work. And do not postpone (and, consequently, increase) the discomfort. Address it head on so that it doesn't grow legs and become all forms of pain, destruction and unnecessarily squandered relationships.
