Episode 133 - What Avoiding Conflict Really Costs You


Listen Later

Conflict is one of the most paradoxical things I’ve encountered—in my own life and in the lives of my clients. For those of us who have been shaped by good girl conditioning, conflict most often feels like danger and disconnection. But when it happens within a container of safety and self-connection, it becomes a doorway to vulnerability, intimacy, and power. In this episode, I explore why we avoid conflict and share personal stories that demonstrate the freedom you can find when you say what needs to be said. Here’s what I cover:


  • How the emotional burden of unspoken words lives in the body
  • How cultural and gender conditioning teach people socialized as women to stay silent
  • Two real-life examples of how I apply what I teach about conflict and communication
  • Why self-love and compassion are essential for knowing when and how to speak up
  • How practicing the skills to have hard conversations leads to freedom and connection
