Episode 73: Managing Conflict

Survived to Thrive Podcast

The raw emotion and confusion that follows a loved one's suicide can make every conversation feel like a minefield. Our latest episode is a candid exploration of this fragile terrain, where we address the importance of not just weathering the storm of conflict but using it as a tool for healing and growth. Through personal stories and insights, we reveal why engaging with conflict, rather than avoiding it, can fortify relationships and build trust, especially in the wake of such overwhelming grief.
As we peel back the layers of disputes, we uncover the subtle art of effective communication—how pausing and truly listening can transform an argument into a constructive dialogue. Guest insights complement my experience, shedding light on managing conflicts with mindfulness and considerate language, guided by the wisdom of Thomas Monson's philosophy on valuing people over problems. Our conversation goes beyond platitudes, offering actionable advice and fresh perspectives on embracing disagreement as a natural, enriching part of our human connections. Join us for a thought-provoking episode that challenges the stigma surrounding conflict and showcases its potential as a catalyst for personal and relational evolution and growth.

As always, thanks for listening!
