Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Reframe This, Matt and Corinna begin a three-part series on a universal aspect of relationships: conflict. Focusing on the small, everyday tensions that can build over time, they share a real-life moment from their marriage to unpack how we can approach conflict in healthier, more grounded ways. With practical tools drawn from both mental health practices and lived experience—like the TEA method, “I” statements, and reflective listening—they explore how to navigate disagreements with empathy, clarity, and emotional regulation. The conversation is anchored in the idea that conflict doesn’t have to be combative—it can be a pathway to deeper connection. And for listeners of faith, the episode closes with timeless wisdom from scripture that reinforces the value of pausing, listening, and responding with grace. Whether you're rooted in faith or simply looking to strengthen your communication skills, this episode offers a thoughtful, relatable reframe: react less, respond more.
