  • Fixing It vs Being Heard

    In this episode of The Joyride Podcast, we get into the age-old debate: “Do you want me to fix it, or do you just want to be heard?” Why do we rush to give solutions when someone is simply trying to express how they feel? And on the flip side, when is it actually okay to stop talking and start fixing the problem?We’re unpacking the difference between listening, validating emotions and offering solutions and why sometimes, “I hear you” can mean more than a whole TED Talk. 😭🎥 Catch the conversation and tell us: When you’re upset, do you want to be heard or do you want them to fix it?#JoyridePodcast #JoyridePodcastsS9 #TheJoyridePodcas

  • The apology episode

    This week, we are unpacking the word that ends (and starts) more fights than anything else — apologizing. How to actually do it right, when you shouldn’t bother, and whether we’ve all gotten addicted to saying sorry for things we don’t even mean. We’re pulling receipts from our own relationship — the apologies we nailed, the ones we botched, and a few we’re still not convinced we owe.

  • When outside voices get inside your relationship||SSN 9 Ep 3 ft Wamzzzz & Nigel

    This episode, we're looking at one of the quietest sources of conflict in relationships — outside voices.Family, friends, church, social media, everyone who has an opinion about your relationship except the two people actually in it. We get into how much power we've given those voices, how they've created tension we didn't even name as conflict, and what it's taken for us to protect our relationship from influence that isn't ours to carry.Subscribe to Joyride Network for new episodes every week.#JoyrideNetwork #JoyridePodcast #Season9 #Conflict

Or is there something deeper asking to be seen?Join us as we explore how understanding the root of conflict can transform the way we communicate, love, and resolve tension in our relationships.
