All conflict starts in the same place: anger, frustration, or irritation. From that moment, we each tend to choose one of two paths:

• AVOID — shutting down and sweeping it under the rug

• DOMINATE — pushing harder, talking louder, fighting to be right

But there’s a third path: RESOLVE. The thing is, most of us didn’t grow up with great examples of this, and it sure doesn’t make for interesting TV and movies. If you’re not leaving hard conversations with BOTH people feeling better, more seen, heard, and understood in 10 minutes or less…this workshop is for you.

If you’ve been yelling about it or sweeping things under the rug, avoiding conflict like the plague for a while, you may be at the point where you don’t trust that you all can get through conflict well. This is a recipe for feeling like you’re “growing apart,” roommates, or worse — enemies.

This workshop gives you a way out.

I’ll teach you how with a literal conflict map — a step‑by‑step, “if this, then that” guide that shows you exactly what to do and say next in tough conversations. No more guessing. No more spiraling. No more walking on eggshells or hoping things magically get better.

Inside the workshop, you’ll learn:

• How to de‑escalate quickly, even when emotions are high

• When to walk away or take a time‑out (and how to do it without triggering defensiveness or abandonment)

• How to get underneath the stupid fight and to the meat of the real issue

• The DOs and DON’Ts of conflict, so you stop accidentally making things worse

• What to say instead of shutting down, exploding, or criticizing

• How to interrupt the “same fight over and over” cycle

You’ll also get practical tools you can use immediately — including scripts for the hardest moments and a short audio you can listen to in the middle of a fight when you want to scratch your partner’s eyes out. It’s designed to shift your brain out of blame and criticism and back into vulnerability, helping you exit fight‑or‑flight and re‑enter connection.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a map, a method, and a way to move through conflict without losing yourself, your partner, or your relationship.

By the end, you’ll feel less confused, more confident, and more capable of navigating conflict in a way that actually brings you closer — not further apart.
