Conflict is uncomfortable--but avoiding it doesn't make it go away. In fact, it often makes things worse. As a recovering people pleaser, Kari knows this struggle firsthand. But through her work with dogs, she's learned that conflict isn't something to fear--its something to navigate with clarity, just like our dogs do.

In this episode, Kari breaks down how dogs handle conflict naturally--whether its a quick correction, a boundary-setting moment, or a disagreement that leads to separation. She explores what happens when conflict is left unresolved and how avoiding it only escalates tension, both in our relationships with dogs and in our lives.

If you've ever struggled with confrontation, held back from saying what needed to be said, or found yourself avoiding difficult conversations, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how facing conflict head-on can actually bring more peace, not less--just like it does in the canine world.
