Pride & Ego: The Need to Be Right at the Cost of Connection (1)

Not every relationship ends because of betrayal.Some end because no one was willing to bend.In this episode of Heart to Heart with Jewel Chima, we confront one of the most subtle but destructive enemies of connection: Pride and Ego.Pride doesn’t always look loud or arrogant.Sometimes it sounds like: • “I shouldn’t have to apologize.” • “If they care, they’ll fix it.” • “I’m not the one who started it.” • “I won’t be the one to call first.”But what happens when the need to be right becomes more important than maintaining your relationship?In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, we explore: • Why arguments turn into power struggles • How pride blocks emotional repair • How to reset in the middle of conflictIf you’ve ever stayed silent to prove a point, struggled to apologize, or chosen distance instead of vulnerability…This episode will feel uncomfortably honest and freeing.You can choose to either protect your pride or your peace. You rarely get to keep both.If you have a topic or question you'd like us to explore, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I'd love to hear from you.
