In today's episode Dr. Andrea & Jon are joined by conflict

resolution specialist, Amy Armstrong. With experience spanning family law, education, and corporate environments, Amy shares her journey from avoiding conflict to becoming a champion of truth-telling with warmth and kindness.


Join us as we explore the subtleties of navigating assertive communication, especially for women, and learn the critical role of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and curiosity in conflict resolution.

Uncover the truths about boundary-setting, role modelling for children, and the power of heart rate control and breath management in maintaining calm during tense situations.


Gain insights into Amy's innovative framework, "VOICE," and how it can transform difficult conversations into opportunities for growth and understanding.


Whether you're a parent looking to strengthen bonds with

your children or someone seeking to elevate your professional relationships, this episode offers actionable advice and inspiration.
