If you feel like every conversation with your partner turns into an argument, you might be in the power struggle stage. And here’s the truth: it’s not about power at all.


In this episode, I will explain the 5 stages of a relationship, why the power struggle is a natural (and necessary) phase, and how to move through it without breaking up.


You’ll learn:


✅ What the “power struggle” phase really means (and why it’s inevitable)


✅ How to stop constant arguments and walking on eggshells


✅ The essential skills for conflict resolution and emotional connection


✅ Why this stage can actually make your relationship stronger than ever


Whether you’re dating, married, or in a long-term relationship, this episode will help you navigate conflict, set boundaries, and create a stable, healthy, and fulfilling partnership.
