    When outside voices get inside your relationship||SSN 9 Ep 3 ft Wamzzzz & Nigel

    This episode, we're looking at one of the quietest sources of conflict in relationships — outside voices.Family, friends, church, social media, everyone who has an opinion about your relationship except the two people actually in it. We get into how much power we've given those voices, how they've created tension we didn't even name as conflict, and what it's taken for us to protect our relationship from influence that isn't ours to carry.Subscribe to Joyride Network for new episodes every week.#JoyrideNetwork #JoyridePodcast #Season9 #Conflict

    The Fight Beneath the Fight

Is it really about the dishes, the text that wasn't replied to, or the tone? Or is there something deeper asking to be seen?Join us as we explore how understanding the root of conflict can transform the way we communicate, love, and resolve tension in our relationships.
