info_outlineHave you ever replayed a conversation in your head for hours... wishing you had said something differently? Or found yourself shutting down, getting defensive, people-pleasing, or saying something you instantly regretted?
What if the problem isn't your communication skills?
What if it's your nervous system?
In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Jeremy Pollack, psychologist, neuroscience-based conflict resolution expert, and author of Wired for Peace, to unpack why difficult conversations feel so overwhelming, how your brain responds to conflict, and the practical neuroscience-backed tools that can help you stay calm under pressure.
Whether you're navigating challenging relationships, family dynamics, workplace conflict, leadership, parenting, or simply want healthier communication, this episode will completely change the way you think about stressful conversations and difficult people.
You'll walk away understanding why conflict isn't simply a communication problem, how to regulate your nervous system before reacting, and how to build stronger, more trusting relationships without abandoning yourself in the process.
