In this episode Alexis and Sangodare offer a relationship practice: “celebrate the squabble,” framing conflict as a generative opportunity for growth rather than something to fear, and grounding it with levity and curiosity. Drawing on Audre Lorde’s image of love acting “like a drug or a chisel,” they share about their first fight and seeking support that holds conflict as teacher rather than a breaking point. They close with three North Stars for conflict and announce a March 27–29 Black feminist breathing gathering in Durham with chanting, sound circles, dancing, Sunday School, and a live podcast taping.

• Celebrate The Squabble
• Navigating our First Fight
