  • Escaping the Drama Triangle with Christine Brondyke

    If you’ve ever found yourself fixing things for everyone or feeling like the only one who cares, this episode explains why that dynamic shows up and how to change it.

    Cassie sits down with Certified Life and Relationship Coach Christine Brondyke to explore the Drama Triangle, a powerful lens for understanding conflict and communication breakdowns in orthodontic teams. You’ll learn how the Hero, Victim, and Villain roles keep teams stuck, and how shifting out of these patterns can spark true connection and collaboration.

    “If there's a glitch—work, home, friendship—this can help us understand the how of it. And once we can see it, we can see it everywhere.”

    What You’ll Learn

    • How the Drama Triangle creates tension in practices
    • Why “fixing,” “blaming,” or “rescuing” might feel familiar
    • What it takes to shift into leadership rooted in clarity and connection

      • Christine Brondyke is a Certified Life and Relationship Coach with more than two decades of experience guiding individuals, couples, and teams through the messiness of communication and into deeper alignment. Her insights will change the way you see your workplace and yourself.
