Hey everyone. In this episode of the Self Development Collective, I want to share something really personal about conflict resolution in relationships - and honestly, I'm diving into this topic because it's something I struggle with myself. I'll tell you about a recent situation that happened with my mom, my eight-week-old baby, and a Christmas tree that taught me so much about handling family conflicts.
What You'll Learn:- A practical four-step framework for resolving relationship conflicts after intense emotional moments
- Why taking space after conflict can lead to deeper connection and understanding
- How to communicate your feelings authentically without causing more damage
- The importance of honoring your emotional experience while repairing relationships
- My personal story of navigating a sensitive family situation as a new mom
- How losing my brother changed my perspective on family conflicts and connection
- Real-life application of the conflict resolution framework
- The transformative power of vulnerability in relationship repair
I break down the framework that's really helped me repair relationships after those heated moments. Through my own story of moving from intense anger to a beautiful reconnection with my mom, I show how this framework works in real life. I'm completely open about my struggles - like feeling punished for taking rest as a new mom, and the complicated emotions that come with missing special moments with my kids.
This episode is perfect for anyone feeling stuck after a conflict, wondering how to make things right. Whether you're dealing with family tensions, partner disagreements, or friendship conflicts, I share practical tools that have transformed my own relationships and can help you find your way back to connection, even after those really tough moments.
Remember: repair is always possible, and sometimes those post-conflict conversations can lead to even deeper understanding and stronger bonds.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
