Being disliked and misunderstood is a really unpleasant phenomenon for most of us.  As social  creatures, we're hard wired to care what other people think of us.  But when we let our fear of being disliked run the show and guide our decisions, we end up wasting a lot of precious time and energy trying to control what other people think of you.

And often- the other person doesn't care about understanding you really.  They don't care about your good intentions.  They don't care if they're wrong about you.  They're getting some kind of benefit from making you out to be the bad guy in their story that they're not actually willing to give up.

So in today's episode, I'm sharing some tips and ideas that will help you to:

**stop caring so much what they think of you
**stop wasting your time & energy to try to make them see you in a better light
**make peace with someone who's only interested in fighting




Want to go deeper?  Book a private coaching session with me.

I'm opening up new spaces for people who would love to 
**stop overthinking and start making more progress instead
**stop having the same fight over and over with their partner
**get out of self-doubt and hiding your gifts and start letting yourself be seen and known

A few years back, my partner and I went through a phase where we were stuck in unresolved fights and unfinished conversations.  As someone trained in couples counselling, you can only imagine how crazy making this was for me.

I realized along the way, that many. of the things I had been taught about relationships and couple's communication were actually making my own conflicts with my partner worse.

Listen in to hear about the bad relationship advice that contributed to us getting stuck in conflict and misunderstandings and what I learned to do instead.
