Navigating Power Struggles With Your Par...

Aaron & Jocelyn Freeman
About this episode

There are disagreements in your relationship, and then there are Power Struggles! These power struggles are more detrimental and have deeper rooted contributing factors. They keep you from being the best team possible and being able to come up with mutually beneficial solutions for your family. In today's episode we dive into:

  • How to define a power struggle

  • The goal of interdependence, rather than co-dependence or independence 

  • Contributing factors to being in a power struggle

  • Communication skills to be more collaborative + harmonious
