Why Conversations Break Down — and How to Fix Them in Real Life

This is a completely different event than ones we've previously held, covering a unique angle on the subject of relationships.

Shyness and anxiety in relationships are often treated as personal flaws or things to “push through.”

In many cases, they're actually signals that something in the interaction isn't stable or clear, and your system is reacting appropriately.

This live, in-person workshop explores what causes anxiety and hesitation to arise in communication, and what helps it naturally settle. Without forcing confidence, scripts or exposure-style pressure.

You’ll likely relate if:

• You replay conversations later and think, “That’s not what I meant.”
• You hesitate or overthink when it’s time to speak up.
• Conversations drift into tension even when everyone has good intentions.
• You want to connect better—but don’t want scripts or fake confidence.

If any of that sounds familiar, this session will feel immediately relevant.
What makes this worth showing up for

This is not a lecture and not a networking event.

It’s a guided, interactive workshop where you’ll:

• Learn why conversations break down in the first place
• Experience what actually restores understanding
• Practice being more present and composed in real time
• Leave feeling more comfortable in conversations—without forcing anything

Most people notice a difference during the session itself, not weeks later. Workshops like this are rare because they:

• Stay small on purpose
• Focus on fundamentals instead of trends
• Require live participation to be effective

If communication has ever felt like a bottleneck in your life—
skipping this tends to feel obvious after the fact.

Who this is especially good for

• Thoughtful, introspective, or introverted people
• Professionals who want clearer communication at work
• Anyone navigating relationships, boundaries, or confidence
• People tired of tips that don’t translate into real life

You don’t need to be outgoing.
You don’t need experience.
You just need curiosity.
