How to Fight Fair: Navigating Conflict Without Losing Connection

Let’s be honest — nobody hands us a manual on how to argue with the people we love. We either bottle things up, blow up, or get stuck in the dreaded cycle of “You always / You never.” Sound familiar?

In this Awkward to Awesome session, we’re tackling the art of fighting fair — because disagreements are inevitable, but disconnection doesn’t have to be. We’ll laugh at some of the all-too-relatable ways conflict goes sideways, then learn practical tools to keep your cool and stay connected (even when you’re ready to roll your eyes into another dimension).

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How to listen before launching into defense mode
• Sharing emotions without turning it into a blame game
• Knowing when to pause before things spiral
• Putting solutions over scorekeeping
• Saying “sorry” before it calcifies into a standoff
• Remembering you’re teammates, not opponents

You’ll leave with strategies that make conflict less about “winning” and more about understanding, respect, and connection. Because love matters way more than being right — though we’ll show you how to disagree without losing your cool (or your relationship).

Come ready to reflect, learn, and maybe even laugh at your own “fighting style.”

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about getting better at being human, together.
