Episode 3 - Difficult Conversations

The Purpose Patch

Lou and Sal could get Olympic medals for talking...but when they feel hurt by a friend; need to talk about sex with a boyfriend; or it comes time to discuss salary at work...suddenly they’re lost for words. The problem with this is that what isn't said gets repressed and then impacts how they feel in their relationships. Sal has been practicing difficult conversations at work for a few years (by necessity!) but finds them abominably awkward in her personal life. Why is it so hard to say what you feel and what you want? She generally just wants to do a runner instead! Lou finds a song (of course!) by ‘Growing up Gracefully’ that captures the essence of the gender pay gap continued fallout.
