Community is beautiful… and messy. Wherever humans gather, there will be difference, tension, and sometimes rupture. In this episode, Laura and Krissi dive into the uncomfortable but transformative space of conflict in community.
Together they explore:
✨ Why conflict is not failure, but a sign of life and care
✨ The myth of “perfect” community vs. authentic connection
✨ How old patterns of control, avoidance, and needing to be right show up in conflict
✨ The wounds women carry around being pitted against each other - and the healing possible when we choose repair over retreat
✨ Simple somatic practices to stay present with conflict in your body instead of spinning out in your head
Conflict isn’t something to run from. It can be sacred tension, fertile ground for trust, compassion, and deeper belonging.
Laura closes with a guided reflection and blessing to help you sit with what conflict stirs in you, and to lean into the possibility of repair.
