ICYMI: The best advice for better communication, deeper connections, and tough chats, with Anna Sale

<p>Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. </p><p>What’s the recipe for a good, juicy conversation? How do you broach tough discussions, listen actively, and express yourself clearly? We all struggle with confronting taboo topics and uncomfortable issues, but there’s an art to having difficult conversations, and when done right, they bring us closer and help us connect more deeply. </p><p>We called in fellow podcaster and the literal author of the book on hard conversations, Anna Sale. Anna is the creator and host of WNYC studios’ wildly popular and award-winning <i>Death, Sex, & Money</i> podcast, where she's been doing interviews about "the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more" since 2014. </p><p>The <i>New York Times</i> dubbed her “a therapist at happy hour”, and we could not agree more. Anna and her guests have direct thought-provoking conversations about the topics we’re often too squeamish, polite, or nervous to bring up. She’s the author of <i>Let’s Talk About Hard Things</i>, where she dives into death, sex, money, family, and identity. </p><p>Listen to our full episode with Anna<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/teach-me-how-to-have-difficult-conversations-part-1/id1502634691?i=1000611570258"> here!</a></p><p>Tune in every Monday for an expert dose of life advice in under 10 minutes.</p><p>For show notes and more adulting tips, visit:<a href="http://teachmehowtoadult.ca/"> teachmehowtoadult.ca</a></p><p>Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:</p><p><a href="https://www.teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter">teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter </a></p><p>Follow us on the ‘gram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/teachmehowtoadultpodcast/">@teachmehowtoadultpodcast </a></p><p>@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/yunggillianaire/">yunggillianaire</a></p><p>@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cailynmichaan/">cailynmichaan</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/
