So we kind of wanted to dive a little bit deeper into how do you have high levels of communication?

What does that actually look like?

And how to avoid conflict, or if you have to have conflict, because sometimes we can't avoid it as humans, having it in a really respectful way.

Yeah.

And I think all of what you just spoke about, the disrespectful conflict or arguments with people,

comes from the lack of communication before it gets to that point yeah now i think about this quite often i think about it from a business owner's perspective it's like a lot of people complain right in business that they want more clients they want more leads they want more opportunities but they don't even have basic levels of communication to reply to dms in a timely manner

to have their own voice, have their own opinions, to have hard conversations.

They avoid all of that.

And when I think to relationships or friendships, if you are the person that gets into an argument with somebody you love and you are disrespectful to them, that is because you have not communicated your needs, wants or desires prior to that point.

And it's become this big explosive thing.

So for example, if Gemma is annoying me and I, we've spoken about on the potty, she's stubborn.

I'm a control freak.

We know this.

But if I had not said to her, hey, you're really stubborn in some situations.

And then she was like, yeah, no, I know.

But if we'd never had that conversation before.

We are bound to have an argument about her being stubborn at one point or another, and that could end up explosive because I have, this is a hypothetical situation, guys, but I have for a long period of time been resenting her because of how stubborn she is.

It all comes out.

I tell you every day how stubborn you are, but how stubborn she is for such a long period of time without actually just bringing it up when it first annoyed me.

And that's why I feel like so many people have really bad conflict and have really disrespectful conversations with people because they lack levels of communication to begin with.
