The Art of Making Up

We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy Sterling

Everyone fights. We all disagree — at least in our most secure relationships. 

Making up after a fight is one of the most important relationship skills I teach - and it’s a topic that’s rarely discussed.

I get it. 

It’s not sexy. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The difference between an apology and a repair. 

My 4-step process to repair like a pro.

Biggest rookie mistakes to avoid when you’re trying to repair.

AND… I debunk the most common myths that get in the way of repairing. 

If you listen to 1 podcast this month, THIS IS IT.
