EP 71: There is no such thing as a fight free marriage, here is why.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the most powerful but overlooked tools in a relationship: the repair attempt. Based on the work of Dr. John Gottman, this episode is all about why you don’t need to avoid conflict — you just need to learn how to come back to each other after it.

I’m sharing real-life stories from my coaching sessions, relatable examples from my own life, and 5 practical ways you and your partner can soften tension and reconnect, even in the heat of the moment. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a fight and wished for a reset button — this is it.

💡 What You’ll Learn: What a repair attempt really is (and why it matters more than being “right”) Why most couples struggle to repair — and how to change that 5 phrases and gestures to de-escalate conflict in real time How to respond when your partner reaches out first A simple weekly challenge to help you reconnect with intention
