How do we invite others into our worlds? And, most important: will we be brave enough not to suffer in silence but to raise our ha...

Sarah and William have a conversation about how they make decisions. They talk about course corrections and paying attention to the things that let you know whether you're on the right path, as well as managing decisions in a relationship, while also touching on things like mentors, forgiveness, and accepting other people's experiences.

In this helpful episode, Sarah and William talk about having uncomfortable conversations early, when only a 1% correction is needed, rather than avoiding them until you're waaaay off target and the issues are huge. They model conversations, doing a little role play, and touch on the trust pyramid, resentment, forgiveness, and more. Lots of good stuff here for making relationships work better, whether professional or personal.

This one's also a mobile edition, so there's background road noise... but hey, it's MINNESOTA road noise, so it's all part of the experience!
