How to Prepare for a Hard Conversation

If you have a conversation coming up that’s already tying your stomach in knots, this episode is for you. I break down how to prepare for hard conversations before you ever open your mouth — starting with your goal, your body, and the one sentence that sets the tone. These tools will help you walk in calmer, clearer, and far more confident, no matter who you’re talking to or what’s at stake.
