Creating Intimate Relationships with Intentions, with Katie Harris - a podcast by Brandi Lea

When you think of long-lasting relationships, does the word ‘compromise’ come to mind? Katie Harris would say yes, but she would then tell you how she disagrees with the idea of it. Compromise so often looks like one person winning and one person losing. Someone gets what they want, while the other has to suck it up. What if there was a better way? 

Katie’s parents divorced when she was young. Her mother also struggled with addiction. As a result of the conflict she so often witnessed, she learned to people-please in order to avoid it as much as possible. For years Katie thought of herself as being great at communication. It wasn’t until she got married that she realized she was actually just really good at keeping conflict at bay. She had become terrified of conflict and viewed it as relationship ruining. 

This was when Katie decided to stop running away. She saw the need to learn about the purpose of conflict, healthy communication, and conflict resolution skills in order to create a strong, intimate relationship with her partner. 

Tune in to hear the steps Katie took to take her from people-pleaser to couples coach. Connect with Katie online and learn about the proactive work you can do as a couple.
