Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Okay, tell me if this sounds familiar. You're at the dinner table or you're sitting in a car with someone you love or you're on the phone and then it happens. Someone makes a comment, the tone shifts, you know the kind, it stings. Or it's just, uh, and suddenly you're not having a conversation, you're in a standoff.
One word turns into a lecture. One look, next thing you know, you're arguing. And now you're stuck. Do you keep the peace? Say nothing?
Do you speak your mind and then brace for the fallout? Or do you just agree to disagree? Sound familiar? I know it does because I hear it from you every single day in the inbox. You're writing to me and saying things like, Mel, my husband and I are talking past each other.
