Description

This episode of Tom's Life Lab is all about those conversations we avoid. The ones that sit at the back of our minds like unfinished business. 


Whether it's to tell a hard truth, ask for help, or to say sorry, we often tell ourselves that avoiding the conversation means avoiding conflict, but the truth is, avoidance doesn't make the problem go away. Instead, we sit with it, feel the weight of it and allow it to impact our energy and relationships. 


Speaking up is rarely easy, but honesty often brings people together where avoidance erodes trust and pushes us apart. 


Where is your silence shaping your friendships more than your words? Listen now to find how difficult conversations can be a way to build bridges to clarity, connection and growth.
