The first rule of fight club

This week, we’re not talking about dating. Or ghosting. Or situationships. We’re talking about something that’s quietly running the show in every relationship in your life — and something that most people get completely wrong. Conflict resolution.

Emma opens up about a pattern she’s carried for years… one that didn’t just create tension, but cost her real relationships. And the worst part? She didn’t even realize it was happening. Then she goes down the rabbit hole about the reframe that changed the way she approached every single relationship and friendship in her life.

This episode isn’t about how to win in a fight — it’s about what’s actually going on underneath every conflict, understanding the way you react, the way things fall apart and how to get better at communicating. Conflict and getting into fights is unavoidable — but how you move through them is something you're about to get a lot better at.
