Conflict is one of those things most of us try to avoid - especially when we’re sober and trying to protect our peace. But avoiding conflict doesn’t make it go away; it just creates more problems and pain that we have to deal with later. In this episode, Julie, Steve, Rachel, and Azure sit down to talk about what healthy conflict looks like in sobriety - and how learning to face it with healthy skills, boundaries, and emotional maturity can actually make sobriety feel like something you want to do, not something you have to do. They get real about people-pleasing, anxious attachment, overreactions, guilt, and what it means to speak up honestly without losing your cool. You’ll walk away from this one feeling seen, equipped, and encouraged to show up for yourself - even in hard conversations. In this episode: Why conflict is not a sign of failure - it’s a chance to strengthen relationships The difference between reacting emotionally and responding with intention How sobriety changes the way we handle uncomfortable conversations People-pleasing, anxious attachment, and fear of being rejected The importance of emotional preparation before tough talks How to know when to engage - and when to just let something go Why authenticity sometimes means not being liked by everyone Conflict is an opportunity to make a relationship better. Every single time.
