Why do small disagreements turn into big fights? Most conflict doesn’t start with bad intentions. It starts with unspoken expectations. In this episode, we unpack the invisible “contracts” operating inside every relationship — romantic, professional, friendships, and family. When expectations stay silent, they quietly turn into disappointment, stories, resentment, and eventually emotional explosions. You’ll learn: Why the belief “If they cared, they would know” damages connection How assumptions create emotional narratives that escalate conflict The 3 types of conflict (task, relationship, and value) — and why identifying them changes everything A practical 4-step framework to reset tension in real time The critical difference between expectations and standards This episode will help you move from blame to clarity, from defensiveness to understanding, and from repeated arguments to intentional alignment. Because healthy relationships aren’t built on mind-reading. They’re built on clear communication. If you’re ready to handle conflict in a way that strengthens connection instead of eroding it, this conversation is for you.

Conflict is rarely equal. Sometimes one person holds more influence, authority, or power — and that changes everything. So what does Matthew 18 really say about process? In this episode, we take a closer look at Jesus’ words in Gospel of Matthew 18 and unpack the biblical steps of private conversation, bringing witnesses, and involving the community — while asking the hard questions about power imbalances. What if the person causing offence is in leadership or a place of authority? What if going privately doesn’t feel safe? Perhaps the offending party’s personality is too forceful. Jesus’ teaching wasn’t about protecting hierarchy — it was about restoration, accountability, and truth. Let’s talk about power, process, and what Matthew 18 really says.

“I just don’t have time for conflict.” The drama. The stress. The emotional energy it takes — with no guarantee of resolution. Sound familiar? Most of us avoid conflict at all costs… or we engage only when we’re cornered. Either way, we treat conflict as uncomfortable, draining, and expensive. And yet, the elephant in the room isn’t going anywhere — it’s just getting smellier. So why engage at all? In this episode, we challenge a deeply held assumption: that conflict only costs us. What if that belief is wrong? What if conflict actually creates value? I break down 7 unexpected benefits of conflict resolution — emotional, relational, and practical — and invite you to decide for yourself whether conflict resolution has value - real value.  🎧 Listen in if you’re tired of tension, stuck conversations, or unresolved issues — and ready to see conflict in a completely different light.  

We’ve been taught not to trust our emotions. They’re “too much.” They’re not logical. And for women especially, they’re often treated like a problem to fix. So, when emotions show up in a hard conversation, we do what we’ve learned to do—we shut them down, apologize for them, or pretend they aren’t there. But what if that’s the real problem? What if your emotions aren’t sabotaging the conversation… What if they’re trying to tell you something? In this episode, we’re challenging the idea that emotions don’t belong in conflict. We’re talking about how emotions are released, the messages they carry, and why God designed them to play a powerful role in healing and resolution. We’re also taking a deep dive into anger—what it’s really communicating, how it impacts your ability to think and decide clearly, and what happens when it goes unchecked. And finally, we’re getting honest about the truth: God didn’t make a mistake when He gave you emotions. They are not your enemy. They are intentional, purposeful, and meant to guide you—not control you. If you’ve ever struggled with anger or felt vulnerable emotionally in Conflict situations, this episode is for you.  

Your hands are sweating. Your heart is racing. Your throat tightens as you try to hold back tears. Not exactly what being “in control” looks like—especially in the middle of a difficult conversation. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And here’s the truth: what you’re experiencing is completely normal. Uncomfortable? Yes. Embarrassing? Maybe. But normal. You are in a stress response—and when your body sounds the alarm, it becomes nearly impossible to think clearly, stay present, or communicate effectively. Yet, in these moments, the stakes are often high. The more you try to push through, the more out of control you can feel. In this episode, we explore: What actually happens in your brain and body when you become triggered How stress responses begin—and what causes them Why your body reacts the way it does And most importantly, how you canregain control If you’ve ever felt hijacked by a stress response during a hard conversation, this episode is for you.
