Saturday May 10, 2025
If you’ve ever had an argument that spiraled into fighting about the fight… if you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling misunderstood… if you’ve ever found yourself avoiding conflict altogether because it feels easier—this episode is for you.
We’re going to talk about:
✔ How saying what you mean & meaning what you say can eliminate unnecessary conflict
✔ The biggest communication mistakes that create distance in relationships (not just romantic but with friends/family)
✔ How to stop walking on eggshells & start addressing conflict with confidence
✔ Practical tools to improve communication & emotional clarity (inspired by Jefferson Fisher)
✔ How faith guide us to communicate with love
✔ A conflict resolution guide tailored for high-achieving women
"Let’s be real—most of our fights aren’t about what actually happened. They’re about what we think happened. We assume, we react, and we start fighting over perceived intent. But what if we learned to communicate in a way that removes assumption, clarifies intent, and keeps our relationships strong? That’s what we’re getting into today."
Reflection & Journaling Prompts
Examining Your Communication Style:
- How do I typically handle conflict? (Avoid, over-explain, shut down, etc.)
- What assumptions do I make in conflict? Do I assume the worst?
- Do I feel safe expressing my emotions? Why or why not?
Shifting to Healthier Communication:
4. How can I practice saying what I mean more clearly?
5. What are 3 ways I can improve my listening in relationships?
6. What fears hold me back from expressing my feelings openly?
Closing Prayer & Encouragement
📖 James 1:19 – "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
Final Prayer:
Lord, help us communicate with truth, clarity, and love. Give us wisdom to express our hearts without fear, and grace to listen without defensiveness. Strengthen our relationships, and let our words be filled with kindness and honesty. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
