How to Talk With Anyone About Anything—Even When It’s Uncomfortable

We’re living in a time where simply sharing an opinion can feel like walking into a war zone.
Whether it’s at work, with friends, or around the dinner table—many of us are walking on eggshells, afraid of being misunderstood, judged, or canceled.

So we stay silent.
Or we speak at each other instead of with each other.
And the cost? Real connection.

But what if I told you that the conversations we’re most afraid to have might actually be the ones that bring us closer?

In this week’s episode of We Need to Talk, I sit down with two of the most respected voices in the relationship space—Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. They’re the creators of Imago Therapy (which literally saved my marriage), and authors of the new book How to Talk With Anyone About Anything.

This isn’t about mastering small talk.

It’s about learning to stay present in moments of discomfort, approaching hard conversations with curiosity instead of defensiveness, and ultimately, building deeper, more meaningful connections—even when it’s hard.

• In this episode, we talk about:
  Why differences in relationships don’t mean incompatibility—and how they can actually bring you closer.
• The #1 tool to stay grounded and present in tough conversations.
• The one thing every healthy relationship needs to thrive
  PLUS—I bring Harville one of my real-life, high-stakes, emotionally triggering scenarios…and ask him how I should’ve handled it. He does not disappoint.

Whether you’re navigating conflict with a partner, a friend, or a colleague—this episode is for you.
