What if conflict isn’t the problem—but the portal? In this raw and real episode, Alicia is joined by Annmarie, a fellow stepmom and conflict resolution ninja, to unpack what’s really going on underneath the same old fights. (Spoiler: It’s not about the dishes.)
They dig into:
- Why your drama triangle has assigned seating
- How to tell if you’re reacting from love or fear
- What your partner’s defensiveness actually means (it’s not about you… kinda)
- Why kids shapeshift between houses and how it’s not personal
- Using conflict as a gateway to unconditional love and radical self-awareness
Whether you’re blowing up over socks on the floor or questioning your entire role in the stepfamily, this conversation is your loving slap-in-the-face reminder that healing is hard, but worth it.
