from Five with Fry · host Dr. Jen Fry

Why Didn’t Anyone Teach Us This?Most of us were never taught how to handle conflict. We picked up habits by watching family or just winged it. And now we're out here navigating disagreements, tough conversations, and daily tension without real tools.In this episode of Five with Fry, I’m sharing why building conflict skills is essential—not just for your relationships, but for your mental health, boundaries, and self-worth. I even tell a story about a nail salon mishap that used to leave me silently fuming. Now? I advocate for myself calmly, clearly, and in the moment. That shift didn’t happen overnight. It came from real practice.I talk about how conflict shows up everywhere, why so many of us feel unprepared, and how we can start handling these moments in ways that feel more aligned, more powerful, and more you. It’s the exact reason I wrote my book, I Said No: How to Have a Backbone and Boundaries Without Being a Jerk. You deserve practical tools that help you navigate hard conversations without blowing things up or selling yourself short.Pre-order before August 1st to get exclusive goodies (think: candles, fun stuff, and even a chance for personal coaching time with me).Let’s change how you show up in conflict!
