7: How to Resolve Conflict Without Losing the Relationship

Summary: You can win every point in an argument and still lose the person across the table. This week, Carrie shares the story of a mom who chose grace over being right mid-conflict with her son, and breaks down why chasing restoration instead of winning is the shift that actually protects your relationships. Takeaways: Every conflict has two separate outcomes: who's right, and whether the relationship is still standing. You can win one and lose the other. The need to be right is rarely about the facts. It's about safety, control, or feeling valued. Meeting someone where they are will open a door that correction alone never will. Before your next hard conversation, ask: what does this person actually need from me right now?
