About this episode

Let’s talk about the annoyance of a pre-weekend argument. You have two options: 1) Let it go for the sake of your weekend or 2) Stand your ground and risk all your plans being ruined. Luckily there is an alternative. You can put a pin in a conflict and pick it up later. And we’re going to teach you how.
