"Matching their energy," giving the silent treatment, choosing avoidance, and expecting the other person to read your mind are not the way to create a healthy relationship.

In this episode, we dive into the basics of engaging in healthy communication, so you can strengthen your relationships through conflict-related conversations.

We go over a three-step practice you can use (overview below) and dive into some examples.

1. Know yourself first.
2. Communicate. Check-in with the other person, then share how you're feeling and what you're needing.
3. Treat the conversation as a collaborative process.

Let me know how the steps above work for you!

And feel free to share the episode with your partner or friend/family member that you want to have better conflict-related conversations with.
