Have you ever walked away from a heated argument filled with regret, wishing you had handled things differently? Or maybe you’re someone who avoids conflict entirely, hoping it will just magically disappear?

Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast! In this episode, Matt and Erin kick off an intensive series on healthy, holy conflict resolution. They introduce a powerful 4-part framework called PACE:

Pause: Regulate yourself spiritually and emotionally before reacting.

• Assume Goodwill: Drop the victim mindset and reframe your toxic internal narratives.
• Clarify: Separate the raw facts from the stories you tell yourself.
• Engage Toward Unity: Move past trying to "win" the argument and instead pursue mutual communion.

Pulling wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas and Catechism #1731, they explore how mastering your Internal Locus of Control allows you to claim your personal freedom, set clean boundaries, and see conflict not as a bug in relationships, but as a direct milestone toward Heaven.
