You know better. You knew you shouldn't have raised your voice, shouldn't have gotten defensive, shouldn't have interrupted, and you did it anyway. Then it's over, and there's no resolve, just the wreckage of a conversation that went sideways fast.

Join Anna and Tim as they get into why knowing your communication skills and actually having access to them in the moment are two completely different things. They talk about what's really happening in your body before a hard conversation goes off the rails, the signals most people ignore until it's too late, and why telling someone to calm down might be the worst thing you can do. Tim pushes back with his own real-time examples from their marriage, and Anna walks through what it takes to catch yourself before the fight turns into a fight to win.

This Episode Covers:

• Why knowing your communication skills and having access to them when you're activated are two completely different things.
• The physical signals that show up right before you say something you can't take back.
• The four words Anna repeats to herself before every hard conversation.
• Why "calm down" and "relax" are the two words you should never say to someone who's upset.
• What a real break looks like versus a door slam and a "screw you, I'm done".
• How your nervous system can react to the past while you're arguing about something totally different.
• The question Anna asks herself that changes the whole direction of a hard conversation.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
