EP. 84 — "Hard Conversations: Clarity, Curiosity & Courage"

Avoiding tough talks doesn’t make them go away—it just lets silence do the damage.

In this episode, it's about about navigating hard conversations—why we tend to avoid them, how that avoidance can quietly damage relationships, and how to approach them with clarity, curiosity, and emotional regulation.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why your brain treats conflict like danger (and how to stay grounded)

✨ The 3C Framework to navigate tense talks: Clarity, Curiosity, Collaboration

✨ Practical prep steps so you can respond with care, not react with heat

✨ How to know when to speak up—and when to wait

Whether it’s with a friend, partner, coworker, or family member, this episode will help you trade fear for connection and show up in conversations you’ve been avoiding.

What if clarity isn’t about having all the answers…

…but about asking better questions?

This week on The Podgecast, we sit down with Nourhan Shaaban — Head of Production at Envive and former Product Director at Noom — for a deeply human, practical, and honest conversation about how we make decisions, and why it’s so easy to overthink the ones that matter most.

From high-stakes career moves to everyday life choices, Nourhan shares a refreshingly real framework for getting unstuck, listening to your inner voices, and reconnecting with what truly matters.

We talk about:

👉Why the “perfect” decision doesn’t exist

👉How exhaustion and overthinking sabotage clarity

👉The importance of aligning with your future self

👉Practical frameworks like “internal family systems” and “positive intelligence”

👉Why our values (not outcomes) should drive our choices

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to pause and take notes on.

My guest this week is Tiahna Hays — someone who operates at the hospitality end of tech, where relationships, trust, and presence matter just as much as strategy.

Tiahna Hays was 24 weeks pregnant when she interviewed for a job. Final round? One week postpartum. She didn’t share that part of her story — not because she was hiding, but because the workplace didn’t feel safe for it.

In this powerful new episode of The Podgecast, we unpack what it really means to:

– Show up authentically in unsafe environments

– Lead with empathy in corporate spaces

– Build trust through small, human gestures (like remembering a name... or bringing a bottle opener)

This conversation is for the people who:

🧠 Have had to show up with grace when no one’s watching

🌪️ Are navigating uncertainty but still trying to lead

👀 Have ever questioned if their authenticity would be “too much” at work

This one will sit with you long after the episode ends.

👥 Tag someone who leads with heart.
