Episode 125: Teach Me How To Have Difficult Conversations | Part 2, with Anna Sale, Host of Death, Sex & Money
We’re back with more of our conversation on hard conversations with the fabulous Anna Sale. This week we’re leaving our comfort zones behind and learning how to confront our mess head-on, for the good of our relationships and our sanity. From finances to family dynamics and grief, we’re getting all the tips on how to approach the most hush-hush topics and have the courage to admit when the status quo isn't good enough anymore.
Anna is the creator and host of WNYC studios’ wildly popular and award-winning Death, Sex, & Money podcast, where she's been doing interviews about "the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more" since 2014.
The New York Times dubbed her “a therapist at happy hour”, and we could not agree more. Anna and her guests have direct thought-provoking conversations about the topics we’re often too squeamish, polite, or nervous to bring up. She’s the author of Let’s Talk About Hard Things, where she dives into death, sex, money, family, and identity.
Join us as we dive into:
Why money feels so taboo to talk about
How to navigate financial differences with friends and family
Addressing family conflict in a constructive way
Knowing when it’s time to take a break from someone
How to support someone who is dealing with grief
We hope this episode reminds you that you can do hard things!
