61: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Your Partner


Listen Later

We love our people, but here's the thing: conflict is inevitable. That's because people see and experience the world differently. And that's okay! In fact, it's normal! But have you ever noticed the hard conversations you have with your partner can go from 0 to 60 on the emotional rollercoaster, more than any other relationship can? Why is that? And how can we navigate those conversations while respecting our partner's feelings—and our own? Emily breaks down how to spot when you're about to spiral into a heated moment, different patterns of conflict you may use to fight, and how to know when it's time to agree to disagree, or even take a few minutes to cool off from a hot topic. It's thorny, it's hard, but finding your way through a hard conversation happens through a bit of love, respect, humility—and a whole lot of listening.
