The Conflict Crunch: How Gratitude and Self-Awareness Can Shift Your Hardest Relationships
What if the conflicts wearing you down are actually pointing you toward something you haven't yet faced in yourself?In this conversation, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with conflict resolution specialist and longtime friend, Phyllis Olins, whose book The Conflict Crunch: How to Turn Conflict Into Opportunity releases September 23, 2026. Drawing on 30 years of professional work in schools and communities — and a practice rooted in gratitude and energetic awareness — Phyllis shares how even the most difficult conflicts can open the way to genuine clarity, healthy boundaries, and personal sovereignty.They discuss why the mind, like the body, runs on a binary system, and how that pull toward the negative throws us out of alignment. Phyllis shares the story that started it all: Mrs. Luna, a mother of 16, who chose praise in the middle of hardship — and changed how Phyllis understood conflict forever. The conversation also covers projection, the unity of body, mind, and spirit, and why accepting your own faults is often the fastest path to peace in your relationships.Find Phyllis at conflictcrunch.com.
