This week’s episode is all about diving into the real root of conflict. We’ll uncover the underlying causes of arguments and disagreements within our relationships by taking a look into what happens when we don’t get to the heart of our conflicts, how it makes matters worse, but also what we can do to fix it. By identifying the core issues behind the disagreement and navigating them with empathy and understanding, we empower ourselves to have open communication, take ownership of our emotions, and transform conflict into a catalyst for relationship growth.
