Why do we shy away from conflict when it might actually bring us closer??

This week, Mehak sits down with conflict resolution expert Dr. Jen Fry to explore how disagreements—whether in families, romantic relationships, or the workplace—can be powerful tools for growth and intimacy.

Dr. Fry shares personal stories from her upbringing that shaped her views on boundaries and communication, along with practical strategies for handling tough conversations in professional settings.

Through their conversation, Mehak and Dr. Fry reveal how conflict—when faced head-on—doesn’t have to pull us apart. Instead, it can deepen trust, spark transformation, and open the door to stronger relationships and authentic love.
