Do happy couples fight? Or is there another way to handle conflict that doesn’t leave you feeling disconnected or defeated? In this episode, I’m diving into the real dynamics behind relationship arguments – and why some couples seem to spiral while others manage to stay connected, even through tough conversations.
We’ll explore how brain states play a huge role in how we show up during conflict, and why so many arguments are really just survival brain responses on loop. I’ll walk you through how to spot emotional triggers before they explode, and share practical tools to help you move from reactivity into clarity – so you can actually talk to each other, not just defend or attack.
This episode is especially for you if you’ve found yourself stuck in the same fights over and over, or you’re craving a way to communicate with more presence, compassion, and emotional maturity.
Let’s unpack what it really means to navigate disagreements without blame or shame – and how to create a more peaceful, connected relationship, even in the hard moments.
