The Conversation I Didn’t Need to Fill (SE06#232)

Have you ever caught yourself preparing your reply while someone else was still speaking? I know that impulse: add a thought, offer advice, keep the conversation moving.

In this episode, I reflect on the urge to fill a pause—and what we might hear when we give it a little more room. With a partner, a colleague, or your child, a moment of silence can leave space for something they haven’t quite found the words for yet.

One small thing to try in your next conversation: before adding another thought, leave enough room for the other person to finish theirs.
