Conflict resolution comes up quite frequently with my clients. I have wanted to do an episode on this for a while and I am very excited to share my ideas on loving in and through conflict. For so long it was something I was so terrified to do and be around. I hated being triggered. I didn’t like who I was during conflict. What’s been really incredible is that throughout the years I have learned to love who I am in conflict. That’s why episode 82 of the Love Intently Podcast is a solo episode about conflict resolution and 10 things that are huge for me when it comes to loving myself through conflict!
Find your Attachment Style with this Quiz! Understanding the science behind adult attachment and how it can help us find and keep love.
In this episode of the Love Intently Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of having a strong connected relationship and actionable steps you can take right now to love who you are during a conflict. I will share 10 things that I have learned to do that have helped me personally, with examples we can all relate to.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why you need to learn to love yourself in conflict, and why ignoring it is not the answer to your feelings of discomfort.
- Why it’s important to understand your body and take cues from your body as to how you feel and why learning the early signs is so crucial to discovering your window of tolerance.
- How you can look at conflict as an opportunity for growth instead of a negative thing that you must avoid at all costs.
- When we are avoiding conflict, we are actually avoiding short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction.
- The incredible shift from judgment or defensiveness to curiosity in times of conflict for a healthier conversation.
- Understanding and expanding your window of tolerance over time to better understand your own triggers and bodily response.
- The importance of taking responsibility for your half of the relationship instead of blaming the other person for the conflict on the table.
- Why it is not you against the other person, but rather it’s the conflict against the people involved, and how this made a massive shift in my own life with my relationship with my parents.
You always have a choice when it comes to approaching conflict, but the ultimate truth is that when one of you wins, both of you lose. So make sure that you both win, so you both win.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on building thriving relationships with yourself and everyone around you and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

Traci Ruble Episode: Are You in Autopilot or in Alignment?
Alex Starr is a former wildland firefighter and now the host of the Rewrite The Rules podcast, which is about sharing the stories of those who have changed what they thought was possible for their relationships, work, and life. Alex has also authored Rewrite the Rules: An Unconventional Way to Build an Intentional Life, a book that provides a framework to break free of the status quo, trust your instincts and live a life you choose instead of the one you have been told to live. In this episode of the Love Intently Podcast, Alex is here to teach you how to rewrite the rules and also shares his experiences.
Alex defines the fear of failure as the biggest reason people don’t go on things they want and instead run in the opposite direction. However, he has a different way of approaching the fear of failure. (“If you don’t get the job, you should go and apply for three more that are even in better positions and bigger companies.”) Fear and resistance can only keep you down.But how do you know that it’s fear but not instincts trying to protect you? Alex believes every situation and every person is different. But deep down, everybody knows the whisper. We just don’t give ourselves enough space to hear what we already know. Intuition tells us stuff all the time, and sometimes, there’s fear attached to it. (“It doesn’t mean just because it’s like your intuition is telling something, there will be no fear attached to it.”)
In this episode with Alex, we chat about how he has had to let go of who society said he was, how meeting his fiancé changed his life, his biggest fears, and more. Tune in to hear Alex’s full story and learn how you can rewrite the rules for your own life!

-Rules he has written in his life
-What made him rewrite his relationship rule about being single
