#39 - A Roadmap for Discussing Differences
Apr 24, 2024 Season 1 Episode 39
Yvette Erasmus

These days, it can be so difficult to discuss politics and religion.

Often, people tell me they just avoid those conversations.  And honestly, I get it.

However, if we're invested in co-creating a relationship with someone we care about, exploring places where we hold different opinions and beliefs can be exactly the place where we build intimacy.

Looking for a roadmap on how to have conversations around different beliefs?  Check   this episode out!

We'll discuss:

  • 1:17  I'm concerned about my fiancé's political views
  • 6:09  A roadmap for connection:  begin with observations 
  • 12:01  Making our invisible lines visible for others 
  • 22:50  Ways to involve kids in the conversation about their behavior 
  • 26:22  A tip for helping a child choose healthy strategies
  • 39:06  When is it a boundary and when is it coercion?
  • 37:26  Prioritizing the relationship above the behavior
  • 41:23  What can I do when I'm frozen in an active power struggle?
  • 54:13  What about adults who throw tantrums like children?

This episode references two of Yvette's best-selling courses: The Boundaries Masterclass and The Parenting Masterclass.  Check them out for more helpful tips!
