I’m offering up an appetizer–because today’s show is a teaser for an upcoming two-part episode. Disagreements, conflicts, and drama are part of normal life, but there CAN be mutual respect and understanding at the same time.
I’m talking with Kate Leggett, a student in her final semester of graduate school to be a Marriage and Family Therapist. Kate uses her TikTok channel to help restore relationships, and we became aware of each other because of a video exchange on TikTok. Our relationship certainly didn’t begin well, but we are making strides in communicating with respect and understanding around disagreements and conflicts. Come along as we model real-life conflict, relationships, and reconciliation. Join us for a closer look!
Show Highlights:
- How Kate felt the need to fill in the gray area in relationships around boundaries and toxic relationships
- How online interactions can be transactional, personal, and very different with someone with whom you have a prior relationship
- A look at the TikTok videos that started the interaction between Kate and KC–and the thoughts behind the comments
- How people hold conflict in different and vulnerable ways
- How KC and Kate made space for deeper conversations around their conflict
- The difficulties around communication and conflict in the social media space
- An overview of Kate’s podcast, RR The Podcast, which you can find on YouTube and Spotify (Part 1 of Kate and KC’s conversation is up now!)
- Kate’s perspective on the much-used phrase, “You teach people how to treat you.”
- How to listen to the rest of our “respectful drama”
