How to Quit Being a Nice-aholic

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic
Greens. For many of us, it can be a challenge to express what we
really think, even in our most important relationships, because we
seek to avoid conflict or disappointment. Unfortunately, this
approach takes us further away from dealing with the real situation
and we end up unhappy and suffering the consequences. I know
because I, myself, used to be a “nice-aholic.” In today’s episode
of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share discrete action
steps my coach taught me that enabled me to just take a deep
breath, get clear about what I wanted, and tell the truth in a
clear, honest way. I also discuss simple steps to having a
difficult conversation. This episode is brought to you by
