Got an annoying coworker? A rude teenager? A partner with whom you’re always arguing? A friend who you’ve become distant from? Most of us *say* that we want to create better relationships, but we don’t always know how to do that in practice--especially if we have conflict with someone else. Let’s talk about the behaviors that do (and don’t) work to create better relationships.

Narcissism and gaslighting are terms that are being thrown around more and more in popular culture--and they’re not always being accurately applied, which means that sometimes conflict is increased rather than diffused. In this podcast episode, I break down these two terms and how we can be aware of narcissism and gaslighting behaviors, and apply these terms accurately to resolve, rather than inflame, conflict in relationships.

It’s what’s going on in those relationships where no matter what you do, no matter how much you stretch or bend or try to make things work, the person interprets everything you’re doing through the lens of thinking you’re rude...and getting offended. Today’s podcast episode breaks down the signs that this is happening--and how to respond from a place of courage.

How do you maintain what you’ve worked for and created, without losing the connection with that person? Today’s podcast looks at how to navigate the tricky terrain of handling people who resent your happiness.
