The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari wants to show you how to manage conflict. Sometimes, you may have buried your feelings to avoid confrontation, resulting in frustration. You can identify what makes you lash out and make a strategy for how to deal with those triggers. By speaking up when you are upset, you may prevent further arguments.

Our first caller is Remi, whose bad experience with an ex is preventing her from looking for future relationships. Nancy shows Remi that allowing the past to hold her back from dating gives it power over her. To prevent this, Remi can remain positive and open herself up again to the possibility of romance. When Remi is looking for a partner instead of worrying about rejection, she will find someone who is right for her.

Our second caller is Arlette, who is having a hard time finding a job after graduating college. Nancy instructs Arlette to find ways to stand out in the application process. Arlette can make a spreadsheet of local employers she likes and call them individually to make an impression. By following up each rejection, Arlette may learn how she can become a stronger candidate.

Our inspirational guest is Jeffrey Deskovic. Police coerced Jeffry to make a false confession, resulting in his arrest and sentencing to prison. Jeffrey endured physical harassment and feelings of hopelessness but remained determined to gain his freedom. When the legal system continued to fail him, Jeffrey was willing to work even harder to create a way forward. After being released, Jeffrey overcame the time he lost by channeling his pain into finding a new purpose. Now an advocate for wrongful imprisonment, Jeffrey uses his experience to be a voice for others and assist them in getting justice.

Our final caller is Devi, who feels she is being defensive towards those closest to her. Nancy tells Devi to keep her concerns under control, so her relationships are unaffected. Devi can try calling people she knows and ask questions about their day. When someone is trying to communicate their schedule to her, Devi can have the tools to hear what they are saying and avoid misunderstanding.

Perhaps there was a time when you had trouble getting along with someone despite your best efforts. You may need to find ways to communicate differently to get your point across. By placing yourself in their shoes, you may come to an understanding faster. Through practicing patience, you will handle conflict better and live full out.
