055: Achieving Ultimate Freedom By Confronting Conflict and Alchemizing Fear with Kelley Bode

In today’s episode, I’m going solo to answer a popular question I get on Instagram and give you full insight into how confronting conflict can offer you ultimate freedom in every area of your life. I’m uncovering all the layers in this one including where your fear of conflict may have stemmed from, how you responded to conflict as a child and the impacts that has now, the reasons why you may fear or totally avoid conflict and sooo much more. I unravel my own conflicts from the past starting with the very first with a high school boyfriend and all the ways in which my unstable upbringing and approach to conflict at home had a major impact on how I dealt with it and many more situations following until I found a framework that encouraged me to face my fears and be my true authentic self. I also discuss the major blocks that form from avoiding issues with conflict and how ignoring these blocks can stop you from reaching your full potential and achieving your biggest dreams in life.   What truly is the best way to deal with conflict? Tune in to hear the answer once and for all!   WHAT ELSE I TALK ABOUT:   How being afraid of conflict is a natural and evolutionary feeling that you shouldn’t be ashamed of The REAL reason behind why you don’t feel seen in your relationship (hint: personal responsibility is a must-have quality!)
