SERIES: TOUGH TALKS


PART 1: WHY HAVE TOUGH TALKS?

Whenever there is disconnection (of any sort) with those around us we tend to have what we like to call a Tough Talk on our hands. Very few of us love them. Many of us run from them. Some of us fight when we are in them. So why even consider having one?
