This week on The Inspired Collective, Karli and Renee dig into a topic that shows up in every corner of life—relationships, leadership, business, and everything in between: tough conversations.
Inspired by Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott, they explore how avoiding difficult conversations leads to resentment, why emotional intelligence shifts with experience, and how setting healthy boundaries (personally and professionally) can completely transform your communication.
Inside the episode:
• how resentment builds when you avoid uncomfortable conversations
• emotional maturity vs. “just having more experience”
• the difference between personal and workplace communication
• a real client boundary-setting moment that changed everything
• why “you always / you never” language derails conflict resolution
• the framework: pause, get clear, stay curious, communicate early, and listen to understand
• the debate: should you ever go to bed angry?
This conversation is equal parts honest, practical, and laugh-while-you-learn, perfect for anyone trying to strengthen relationships, improve communication skills, or become a more grounded, confident leader at work and at home.
