Listen Again: Anna Sale on Hard Topics, Softer Conversations

Listen Again: Anna Sale on Hard Topics, Softer Conversations

In this conversation, Kate and Anna discuss:

  • How conversations might engender the intimacy we need to get by
  • Fostering the right interpersonal and listening skills it takes to approach a difficult topic (especially when you’re feeling nervous)
  • Best practices for responding to someone’s hard news
  • How learning to listen might bridge differences of all kinds

What do we lose when we don’t talk about hard things? And what might we gain if we do?

Subscribe to Kate’s Substack for blessings, essays, and reflections that hold what’s hard and beautiful.

Join us for Advent over on Substack!
