And it isn’t an expression coined by Bill and Ted (although it’s totally excellent). So, what is it? Well, we’re breaking down radical candor in this episode and talking about its relationship to healthy conflict. Yeah … it goes there.

Your Reaction to the New Normal: Recognizing and Realigning

May 19, 2020 by Jenn Barley

Since the pandemic made its ugly presence felt, upending life as we knew it, we’ve all experienced our fair share of emotional highs and lows (is that putting it lightly?).
