Episode #24: How to gracefully maintain boundaries and stop giving away too much information without damaging your friendships. This episode with my husband, Bryan, is a direct follow-up to the discussion I had in episode 23 when my guest and I spoke about kids' issues becoming too private to share with friends. I asked Bryan to share his advice for keeping information private because he's really good at connecting with people without feeling he has to overshare-- something I'm constantly working on improving.
Many people agreed with me after listening to episode 23 that it's important to keep some information private, especially information about others. But how can we get out of these types of probing conversations without hurting anyone's feelings or making it seem like we don't trust them?
There are lots of ideas in the episode!
