    Hannah Kenny | Restorative Circles

    In this episode, I sit with Hannah Kenny, who is currently earning her Master's of Social Work at Western Michigan University. She walks listeners first through the science behind how our brains work - including stress and trauma responses - and then uses that understanding to explain Restorative Circles and the Restorative Circle process. She details how we can add this practice to our own conflict resolution and healing toolkits, and she helps sift through the inner struggle often faced when determining whether a conflict is worth digging into or not. We touch on "flight, fight, or freeze"; why it's healthy to step away from conflicts before resuming; just how helpful the mindset of "winning" an argument is (hint: not very); and we adjust one of my usual ten rapid-fire questions.

    Amy Pallo | Emotion Tied to Conflict, Not Having All of the Answers

    In this episode, I chat with Amy Pallo, my former high school principal. We begin by addressing the daily conflicts involved in leading, then speak on how conflict management has changed as of late and the necessity of in-person conversations, and we close in joyful admission that not all conflict is unwanted. We approach how seemingly intertwined emotion and opposition can be, and we offer guidance on what it looks like to respond in a few ways. The conversation is filled with laughter and compassion, and, near the end of the episode, I stake a brave claim that, in a very specific instance, there exists a singular "correct" viewpoint. Tune in to find all of this and more!

    Dr. Corey Anton & Dr. Bob Swieringa | Identity, Interpretation of Conflict

    In this episode, I am joined by two of Grand Valley State University's Communication Studies professors, both of whose classes I had the pleasure of taking during my time as a Com Major at GV. It is my hope that you leave this conversation as I did: with an expanded view of the ins and outs of conflict as it exists in our communication-driven world. More specifically, we tackle interpretation of conflict, address the slippery slope of identity within groups, and measure the importance of tolerance against the emotional responses we can feel towards people who think exactly the opposite of us. We also touch on fantasy football, ":)", and social media.

    Rosalynn Bliss | Fostering Respect in Relationships, Existing in Today's Political Climate

    In this episode, I sit with Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss, whom I had as a professor of Leadership & Problem-Solving in my junior year at GVSU. With a background in social work and sixteen years in politics, Mayor Bliss is well-versed in managing intense conflict. We discuss how challenging the period and political climate we're living through is, and we emerge with tips on how to walk into emotionally-charged conversations - political or not - without damaging a relationship. We touch on social media, grace-giving, the importance of diverse social circles, and sausage-stuffed jalapeno poppers.
