Listen "Episode 47: Curious not Critical: How you can best approach conversations about big ideas and big feelings."
Episode Synopsis
Ever notice how a simple question can sometimes turn into a full-blown argument? One minute someone’s sharing an idea, and the next, they’re shutting down because the conversation shifted from curious to critical. In this episode, Todd dives into why that happens — especially in our closest relationships — and how we can learn to ask questions that invite connection instead of conflict.
Through personal stories, relatable examples, and a few hard-earned lessons, Todd explores the fine line between showing genuine interest and sounding dismissive, even when we don’t mean to. You’ll walk away with a few practical ways to keep curiosity at the center of your conversations, especially when emotions are running high or surprises pop up.
Because when we learn to be curious, not critical, we open the door to understanding — and that’s where real communication begins.
