Hey Friend!

 

 

We’re continuing our series on healthy family relationships, and this week, I’m joined by the newest member of our family–my brand new son-in-law, Kyle Weber. Conflict happens in every family and in every family relationship (that’s normal and real-life), but  Kyle and I discuss common ways we make family conflict and drama worse than necessary.

 

Drawing from Chapter 10 of "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life," we chat about how understanding your personality, family background, and triggers can drastically alter how you approach disputes. Listen as we uncover the transformative power of assuming the best intentions in family communications, a lesson I learned firsthand when I made a big parenting mistake.

 

Have you ever found yourself in a heated argument over something trivial? Of course, you have! 

 

Discover why addressing minor grievances before they escalate is crucial to maintaining harmony at home. Through personal stories and practical advice, we explore the importance of humility, humor, and honest communication in resolving family conflicts. Whether it's through asking clarifying questions or taking a brief pause before reacting, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you foster a more peaceful family life with all your family members.
