Show Notes

Ever feel like you and your partner argue about the same thing over and over again? You’re not alone. 69% of relationship conflicts never actually get solved—but that doesn’t mean your relationship is broken.

In this episode, I sit down with Julie Sharon-Wagschal, a Dutch-American psychologist and certified Gottman therapist, to talk about why couples keep getting stuck in the same fights and what they can do about it. We dive into the Dreams Within Conflict exercise, a powerful tool that helps partners see what’s really behind those ongoing arguments—because most of the time, it’s not just about the dishes or how you spend the holidays.

We talk about:

💡 Why some conflicts feel impossible to solve

💡 The real reason your partner won’t let certain things go

💡 How to stop these fights from damaging your relationship

💡 What to do instead of trying to “win” an argument

If you’ve ever walked away from a fight thinking, “We’ll never agree on this,” this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to move forward, not just go in circles.
