Relationships are everywhere! We can’t escape them. In virtually every moment of our lives, we are in relationship with someone: ourselves, our spouses, families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, employees, customers, etc. Even though relationships are an integral part of our lives, many times we don’t have a clear understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like and what an unhealthy one looks like – or what to do about the latter.

Last week, I hosted a workshop at my local library entitled "How to Talk to Anyone." It was a blast and the room was buzzing with conversation as the women who attended enthusiastically practiced the techniques I shared. Since the theme this month is relationships, I decided to share the 3 secrets to engaging conversations that I taught in that workshop with you as well!

Remember the song from the Girl Scouts? "Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold." Friendship, sisterhood, tribe. As we grow older, our relationships with girlfriends change and evolve. We don't want to play games anymore
