Conversations from the Heart #128 - How to Interrupt When They Talk Too Much
Ever find yourself trapped in a conversation that feels endless, feeling your energy draining as someone keeps talking and talking?
Today we explore how to stay kind, connected, and honest while trying to interrupt.
We unpack the hidden fears that keep us quiet (fear of rejection, fear of being rude) and the old “be a good person” conditioning that often silences our truth.
You’ll learn how to interrupt without guilt, speak from authenticity instead of irritation, and transform draining conversations into moments of genuine connection.
Listen to discover:
•Why “being nice” can block real honesty
•What to say when your attention drifts and you want to re-engage
•How to recognize when someone’s over-talking because they’re trying to process pain
•Simple phrases that bring both people back into connection
Listen in for a gentle, empowering guide if you’ve ever felt stuck between caring for others and caring for yourself.
