Undersharing, underpraising, under–talking things out are at the core of some of humankind’s deepest problems. I am on a mission to dignify the art of conversation, of chatting, of reaching across the table with a touch, of laughing and crying, of finding the value in each other’s presence even if we disagree with each other’s ideas. It’s time for us to ignore the complaints that women talk too much, gossip too much, overshare, or whatever words are used to silence the ways in which women naturally connect.
