Lit AF Relationships podcast is your resource for creating healthy relationships full of love, trust, safety, and respect. 

If you avoid conflict like it’s the plague, this episode is for you. We’re talking about what it really means to be conflict avoidant, how defensiveness, minimizing, or deflecting can sneak in when you’re scared to show up honestly. This pattern is common for the dismissive avoidant type, especially if conflict or emotions didn’t feel safe growing up.

You’ll learn why conflict sends you on an emotional rollercoaster, how shame and guilt fuel your defensiveness, and what to do instead. I’ll share how to own your emotions, regulate during tough conversations, and come from a place of self-worth so you can turn conflict into connection. When you know your emotions and can express them with confidence, your relationships get stronger, deeper, and more brag-worthy.
