In Episode 11, Diana and Sheira invite us into the most uncomfortable territory in our lives -- being in a fight.  

They offer new understanding and tools for conflict: how to be present for it, without reverting to our history as the default. They introduce us to the best insurance policy for being in a fight  -- a safe and compassionate relationship with our own vulnerability. They explain what tends to happen when we don't know how to notice and care for our vulnerability. They guide us to our true internal power spot, which isn't interested in power over others. It loves peace and harmony.  It wants to be seen and heard and have the other person be seen and heard. 

Diana and Sheira keep us company in the fight and help us discover our own innate capacities when faced with a moment of conflict.

We step on each other's toes. It can’t be helped. It's part of being in a healthy relationship. What can we do to make it easier to navigate a difference or a disagreement?

In episode 10, Diana and Sheira set the stage for less reactivity, discussing why it empowers us to have a friendly relationship with ourselves as a resource when there is conflict.

They offer tools we can use  in the heat of the moment to introduce calmness and wisdom, which can change the course of the fight.

How can we stay connected with ourselves -- feeling the warmth of our hearts and the strength of our inner core -- when we are communicating with other people, especially people we care about deeply? 

In episode 9, Diana and Sheira guide us to moments of safe and empowered inner space. When we learn how to "hang out" with ourselves, we discover inner resources that make healthy, sustainable relationships possible. We tap into our energetic and psychological capacities, making room for our own suffering instead of projecting it onto others. That is when true compassion opens up for us -- and the other person. 

We all want to have more harmony, connection and communication success in our relationships.  But what if the key to those moments actually has less to do with relating to our partner and more with discovering and staying connected to who we really are inside.  

In episode 8, Diana and Sheira take another step into the authenticity zone as the basis for healthy relating. 

They help us notice how and when we innocently and unconsciously get lost in our personal history. They help us return to the present moment, occupy our own sense of inner space and create a foundation for being our truest selves with those we love. 

We all long to be close and feel connected. But what do we do when we have a moment of misunderstanding, disagreement or upset? Fighting with our partners doesn't work. What is the alternative?

In episode 7, Diana and Sheira present the first in a series of breakthrough teachings on how we can get along with other people by doing something different within ourselves first. 

By deeply exploring the psychological, emotional and spiritual differences between healthy contact and unhealthy blending, they describe steps to slow the momentum of a fight and bring in compassionate and curious awareness of self. These safe and friendly inner-healing moments give relationships an actual chance to do something new -- to experience communication, empowerment and harmony. 

Do you remember the irresistible beginning of your romantic relationship?

In episode 6, Diana and Sheira take listeners on an experiential and educational journey into the start of relationship -- the proverbial honeypot.  Celebrating this natural and essential time of bonding with another person, they also share what's going on emotionally, psychologically and spiritually during this phase of merging. They discuss how this relationship phase sets the stage for future times of growth in relationships as they mature, deepen and experience secure attachment. Bringing in teachings from previous episodes, Diana and Sheira show how inner friendship and inner safety directly contribute and correlate to relationship pleasure and success. 

Is it actually possible to feel more comfortable, more confident when communicating with a romantic partner? In episode 5, Diana and Sheira begin sharing their foundational teachings about how to be part of a couple from the centering reality of the present moment, not from the unconscious conditioning of history and generational patterns.  They give practical tools for how to experience directly what's happening on "our own side of the street," how to stay in the present moment with friendship toward the self and the other person, and how to reveal oneself safely.
