Summary

Hey lady! Have you ever found yourself in a tense predicament where you and another person are at odds and have differing perspectives on how to find a solution? These everyday occurrences, also known as conflicts, are natural parts of life and when handled skillfully can increase your ability to relate to others and improve your self-respect.

Conflicts can range from things as simple as asking a neighbor to stop blocking your parking space to much larger issues such as how to parent a child you share. There is no right way to handle conflict, but there are ways to improve your chances of finding a peaceful resolution.

This week Dr. Dom and Terri have a framework to add to your toolkit when disagreements and troubling situations arise. Head to Patreon to grab your downloadable copy of the framework so you can review it and adapt it to your personal style. Once you understand how you can navigate conflict with this framework you’ll be in the driver’s seat of your experience and more able to meet life as it is.

Quote of the Day:
“The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them.”
– Thomas Crum
