Mindset Academy

In today's Episode we answer one of our viewer's questions: “I have some difficult things that I want to share with my partner, but when we have difficult conversations it never seems to go well. What do I do?” In this Episode,  Relationship Experts Jan and Monika advise viewer Jermone on how to have difficult conversations with his partner. Key Takeaways: [0:20] First off try not to label things as “Difficult”.  Once you label it that way, it will not go well. They will either defend or attack and it will not be a constructive conversation.   [0:55] The most effective conversations come from being vulnerable and transparent. No matter what you are talking about whether it be money or sex or family...it doesnt have to be “difficult”...these talks could be easy, light and fun, who knows!   [2:00 ] When you place a judgment, all of a sudden:  assumptions happen, you take things personally, you try to get to the bottom of things, you blame and shame.  We recommend you practice compassionate self-forgiveness.
