Conflict Resolution in Relationships: How To Repair After Anger

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

Key Topics Covered:

• 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.
