  • Summary

  • Just like you don’t have to attend every party you’re invited to, you don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to. Wow. What a useful alternative perspective to conflict engagement. 

    Ever since I first heard this concept, I’ve been trying to apply it to my life. In doing so, I’ve found that this truth is both liberating and life-shaking, but it’s not always easy. That’s why in this episode, I wanted to share some of my experiences and thoughts around how to argue less. I hope my suggestions help bring more peace into your life and relationships.
