Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins, Bréne Brown,
About this episode

If you’ve been avoiding uncomfortable conversations because you’re afraid of rocking the boat, this episode is a gentle kick in the butt to stop leaking your energy and start speaking up.

Heather is pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest energy leaks she sees in the lives of high-achieving women: avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

In this episode, Heather walks you through how she handles tough talks with her husband, kids, and team—without spiraling into conflict, guilt, or emotional shutdown.

Listen in as Heather shares:

  • Why avoiding conflict drains your energy (and the shift you'll see as soon as you begin to embrace discomfort)
  • The exact script Heather uses to start hard conversations with calm and clarity
  • The Resentment List exercise that shows you exactly where your energy is leaking

You don’t need to fear hard conversations. Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re doors to deeper connection, clarity, and freedom.
