Hey Friend!
 
 
We’re continuing our series on healthy family relationships, and this week, I’m joined by the newest member of our family–my brand new son-in-law, Kyle Weber. Conflict happens in every family and in every family relationship (that’s normal and real-life), but  Kyle and I discuss common ways we make family conflict and drama worse than necessary.
 
Drawing from Chapter 10 of "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life," we chat about how understanding your personality, family background, and triggers can drastically alter how you approach disputes. Listen as we uncover the transformative power of assuming the best intentions in family communications, a lesson I learned firsthand when I made a big parenting mistake.
 
Have you ever found yourself in a heated argument over something trivial? Of course, you have! 
 
Discover why addressing minor grievances before they escalate is crucial to maintaining harmony at home. Through personal stories and practical advice, we explore the importance of humility, humor, and honest communication in resolving family conflicts. Whether it's through asking clarifying questions or taking a brief pause before reacting, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you foster a more peaceful family life with all your family members.

Hey Friend!
 
Have you ever noticed that disagreements with our family members can escalate quickly? This week, I sit down with my oldest daughter, Kylie Jones Healy, to unravel the mysteries behind our emotional triggers. Drawing from insights in my latest book, "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life," we dissect the three primary reasons for anger: blocked goals, unmet desires, and perceived wrongs. Kylie opens up about how these concepts have helped her manage sibling squabbles over something as simple as borrowed clothes, shedding light on how understanding the root causes of anger can transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and stronger bonds.
 
But it’s not all serious talk—Kylie and I also delve into the lighter side of conflict resolution, highlighting how humor can be a powerful tool in diffusing minor tensions. We discuss the fine line between significant and trivial relationship issues and offer practical tips on identifying non-negotiables and fostering clear communication. 
 
Whether dealing with contentious co-parenting or everyday family friction, this episode offers valuable insights for maintaining healthy and connected relationships.

Hey Friend!
 
Ever wonder how you can navigate the often challenging teen years and come out on the other side with a solid and strong relationship with your child? Do you wonder why some relationships seem to have more conflict than most and want to know what you can do to lessen the conflict? 
 
Join us as my youngest daughter, Ashton Weber, and I crack open the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship, focusing on the rocky but enlightening teenage years. Now a newlywed, Ashton sheds light on her teenage emotional and mental development and how it influenced her reactions and how those same reactions likely influence your teen, too. 
 
Our conversation becomes super enlightening (for all relationships!)  as we discuss how, in the thick of conflict, self-awareness, prayer, and emotional regulation are our best allies. Discover how naming your goal during a disagreement can dramatically shift your approach, fostering healthier resolutions. We discuss practical strategies like self-talk, seeking to understand another's perspective, and how divine assistance comes into play, offering you tools to balance your emotions while remaining realistic in the midst of conflict.
 
I learned so much from our conversation and I think you will, too!

Hey Friend!
All of us face times where something outside our relationship affects what’s going on inside our relationship–whether it’s drama at work, with an extended family member, child, or friend. People rarely talk about what to do when this happens–until now! 
Join me as I kick off our new series on healthy conflict and peaceful living with my pastor/hubby, Dr. JP Jones, the founding senior pastor of Crossline Church. We share personal stories, including how church-related issues impacted our marriage and what we learned about how to weather outside storms so they don’t shipwreck our relationships.
We normalize conflict as part of human experience, talk about what we wished we’d known sooner, and discuss practical ways we can give each other grace.
You'll discover the power of self-awareness and honest communication with God, especially when dealing with challenging relationships like those with difficult children. We dive into the significance of fostering our own healthy spiritual and emotional life, which, in turn, affects our relational life.
This episode is practical, biblical, and real!
