@melrobbins: Real connection doesn’t come from avoiding conflict. It comes from learning how to handle it. Priya Parker is a connection expert and bestselling author of The Art of Gathering. She is teaching you how avoiding conflict can quietly weaken your closest relationships. Unhealthy peace can look calm on the surface. No arguments. No tension. No difficult conversations. But underneath, things are building. Resentment. Assumptions. Stories you’re telling yourself about the other person. And over time, that silence creates distance. Because instead of working through the issue, you slowly pull away. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Priya Parker breaks down why avoiding conflict can cost you connection and how to have more honest conversations that actually bring you closer. Stay tuned! This episode drops Monday June 22nd 🎧 “The Secret to Better Conversations, Stronger Relationships, and Real Connection”
