    IS ANGER A FRIEND OR A FOE? RE-THINKING THE POWER OF EMOTIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION

    We’ve been taught not to trust our emotions. They’re “too much.” They’re not logical. And for women especially, they’re often treated like a problem to fix. So, when emotions show up in a hard conversation, we do what we’ve learned to do—we shut them down, apologize for them, or pretend they aren’t there. But what if that’s the real problem? What if your emotions aren’t sabotaging the conversation… What if they’re trying to tell you something? In this episode, we’re challenging the idea that emotions don’t belong in conflict. We’re talking about how emotions are released, the messages they carry, and why God designed them to play a powerful role in healing and resolution. We’re also taking a deep dive into anger—what it’s really communicating, how it impacts your ability to think and decide clearly, and what happens when it goes unchecked. And finally, we’re getting honest about the truth: God didn’t make a mistake when He gave you emotions. They are not your enemy. They are intentional, purposeful, and meant to guide you—not control you. If you’ve ever struggled with anger or felt vulnerable emotionally in Conflict situations, this episode is for you.

    HOW TO MANAGE STRESS IN CONFLICT: WAYS TO STOP OVERREACTING AND REGAIN CONTROL

    Your hands are sweating. Your heart is racing. Your throat tightens as you try to hold back tears. Not exactly what being “in control” looks like—especially in the middle of a difficult conversation. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And here’s the truth: what you’re experiencing is completely normal. Uncomfortable? Yes. Embarrassing? Maybe. But normal. You are in a stress response—and when your body sounds the alarm, it becomes nearly impossible to think clearly, stay present, or communicate effectively. Yet, in these moments, the stakes are often high. The more you try to push through, the more out of control you can feel. In this episode, we explore: What actually happens in your brain and body when you become triggered How stress responses begin—and what causes them Why your body reacts the way it does And most importantly, how you canregain control If you’ve ever felt hijacked by a stress response during a hard conversation, this episode is for you.
