Mastering Difficult Conversations

Difficult conversations are unavoidable—but avoiding them is optional.

In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, we dive into why so many people avoid hard conversations and how that avoidance quietly damages relationships, teams, and trust. Whether in leadership, work, marriage, friendships, or family dynamics, unresolved conversations don’t disappear—they compound.

This episode breaks down what actually makes conversations difficult, the common mistakes that escalate tension, and the practical shifts that help conversations move from fear to clarity.

You’ll learn:

• Why avoiding difficult conversations creates resentment and emotional distance
• The difference between entering a conversation to “win” versus to understand
• How to regulate yourself before speaking so the conversation doesn’t derail
• Why curiosity keeps conversations open while accusation shuts them down
• How to speak from impact instead of blame
• Why discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong—but often a sign you’re doing it right

Difficult conversations don’t break relationships. Avoidance does. This episode will help you approach the conversations you’ve been putting off with clarity, courage, and intention.
