The events of the past year have led us to a social and political climate characterized by often intense disagreements and stark polarization. This has altered, if not broken, many family relationships, friendships, and romantic partnerships. Where do we go from here?
Melody Stanford Martin, a social ethicist, communications expert, and author of Brave Talk, joins us to discuss the power of conflict transformation. She shares how adjusting communication has affected her relationship with her mother, ways to foster relationships that can handle the weight of disagreements, and the importance of regulating emotions in the heat of the moment. This episode is a game-changer.
