The holidays are supposed to be about connection — but let’s be honest.
Sometimes it’s a lot of weather talk, travel logistics, and “how’s work?” on loop.

If you’re craving conversations that go deeper — the kind that leave you feeling closer, more understood, and genuinely connected — you’re in the right place.

Introducing the Starter Pack of Big Talk Questions, a free guide from The Opposite of Small Talk designed to help you move beyond surface-level chatter and into conversations that matter.

What’s Inside

The Starter Pack of Big Talk Questions includes prompts across four themes:

🌟 About Them

Help people share stories, reflections, and the things they’ve learned this year.

❤️ About Connection

Create space for gratitude, closeness, and understanding.

📈 About Growth

Spark conversations about change, resilience, and what truly matters.

🌍 About the World

Invite thoughtful perspectives and big-picture thinking.

These aren’t small talk questions — they’re real talk questions.

And they work whether you’re talking with:

  • Friends you haven’t seen in a while

  • Family gathered for the holidays

  • Your partner over a quiet dinner

  • A team at work

  • Yourself, through journaling
