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 didnât like who I was during conflict. Whatâs been really incredible is that throughout the years I have learned to love who I am in conflict. Thatâs 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.

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 itâs 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 itâs 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.

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 donât go on things they want and instead run in the opposite direction. However, he has a different way of approaching the fear of failure.

We just donât give ourselves enough space to hear what we already know. Intuition tells us stuff all the time, and sometimes, thereâs fear attached to it. (âIt doesnât mean just because itâs like your intuition is telling something, there will be no fear attached to it.â)In this episode with Alex, we chat about how he has had to let go of who society said he was, how meeting his fiancĂ© changed his life, his biggest fears, and more. Tune in to hear Alexâs full story and learn how you can rewrite the rules for your own life!

Brit and Sami Barronâs story begins with a choice, and a really tough one at that. The now-married couple met at church where they started out as best friends. At the time, neither of them had openly come out as lesbian, however, as they began to grow closer it was clear to them that this was more than just a friendship, this was love.
While the two were excited about their newfound love, they were faced with quite the dilemma; they both worked at a church that was against same-sex relationships. Sami was the creative director at this church and Brit had just accepted a new job there as a college pastor. However, when the two began to recognize their true feelings for each other, they knew the church would not tolerate it so they were forced to keep it a secret.
After keeping their relationship a secret for a little while, the couple decided that âlove deserves more then the four walls we [are] living inâ and decided to go public with their relationship, regardless of the consequences. They quit their jobs at the church and notified their family and friends of their decision to be together. The response to this news was mixed, however, Brit and Sami chose love over everything.
The process of going public with their relationship led to many struggles, yet they remained strong. They received negative pushback from the church, lost multiple friends, and were turned down by family members who refused to even acknowledge their relationship. While this was discouraging and difficult at first, as time went on they began to realize that no matter what anyone else said, they knew that their love was good and true.
Fast forward a couple years, the two are happily married and building a life together. Brit recently came out with her first book, âWorth Itâ, and they are planning to release their new podcast in February titled, âThe Everyday Lesbiansâ. While they still deal with the struggle of losing friends over their love, they have learned to keep moving forward and love each other above all else.
In Brit and Samiâs episode of The Love Intently Podcast, we chat more about how the couple met and fell in love, their decision to quit their jobs to be together, losing family and friends due to their love, and so much more. Tune in for a beautiful story of choosing love no matter the consequences and see below for a full list of lessons/topics covered in this episode with Brit and Sami.
Key Topics Discussed
- How Brit and Sami met and fell in love âI told her, âI think you're going to be in my wedding one day.â â
- Their confusion around falling in love with someone they were told they couldnât love âWe didnât know that was even possible. To be together wasnât something that wasn't showcased or even open in our community, so we had to jump over a lot of hurdles to get thereâ
- Falling in love with the same sex while working at a church âFeeling something so natural and so good, and having it collide with the world you existed in was really, really traumatic.â

Lastly, she shares her romcom-style way of how she met her now fiancé (she thought he was gay at first!), and how their deeply loving relationship has remained strong over 11 years of growing and changing together.

If you would have met Susan Seay five years ago, you would have met a burnt-out mama who felt âdone.â Running a business with her husband plus running a household with 7 children (and homeschooling for 20 years!), youâd wonder if thereâs even any way to not be constantly stressed and burnt out.
-
Well, Susan is here to show you that itâs possible. She started to apply concepts sheâd learned in the business world to her home, and everything changed. She found that when you run your household with the same intention and purpose as you would in a business, not only do you not have to be stressed, but you can actually enjoy life and your family with a sense of excitement!
-
Now, she is a Speaker and Founder of Mentor for Moms, a platform for mentoring moms on how to parent with purpose and intention, utilizing these concepts from running a business and bringing them into the home.
-
In this episode of the Love Intently podcast, Susan shares with us what it looks like to parent with intention, how Susan implemented business concepts like Core Values into the home, advice for parents during Corona (especially on homeschooling, as someone with 20 years experience!), how she makes sure to establish deep connections with all seven of her kids, how her and her husband stay connected, practicing self care for moms, and more!
