Episode 11: From Tension to Trust: Navigating Conflict with Curiosity and Compassion

Conflict is part of being human — but when we meet it with curiosity and compassion, it can transform into a pathway toward trust and growth. In this conversation with international speaker and coach Robyn McTague, we explore how tension holds the seeds of deeper truth and connection, and how releasing old patterns can open space for more authentic relationships.

What You’ll Hear:

  • Why conflict is not a problem to be solved, but a doorway to deeper connection.

  • How meeting conflict with curiosity can reveal unmet needs and new possibilities.

  • The role of the Enneagram and motivational maps in understanding ourselves and others.

  • Why embracing emotions in the moment is essential for transformation.

  • How releasing old patterns can compost into trust, growth, and more fulfilling relationships

Jennifer ties this conversation back to the West on the Soul Compass — the season of release, letting go, and making space for what’s new. Conflict often asks us to release what no longer serves and step into more honest, connected ways of being.

✨ Reflective Prompt: Where in your life right now might conflict be pointing you toward a deeper truth, or offering you a chance to build trust?
