When relationships feel strained, whether it’s with a partner, friend, family member, or even a colleague, it’s easy to spiral into avoidance, defensiveness, or emotional overwhelm. But what if there was a grounded, practical way to move through the chaos and back into connection?

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren shares a powerful relationship practice called “Meeting at the Table,” a concept introduced to her by her friend Sherile. It’s an intentional exercise designed to support conflict resolution, deepen understanding, and reset communication with honesty and clarity.

Whether you’re navigating tension in your marriage, a breakdown with a friend, or just want a framework for more productive heart-to-hearts, this episode lays out the exact process step by step including how to create mutual timelines for change and real follow-up.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• How to approach difficult conversations without emotional charge
• The journaling and writing exercise that allows both parties to express truth safely
• What accountability, goals, and follow-up actually look like in this practice
• Why sometimes you need structure, not just intention, to repair relationships

This isn’t just about talking it out. It’s about building something new together.

PRACTICE HIGHLIGHT:
Each person brings their written list of what’s not working or what’s causing disconnection in the relationship. Without blame, both sides share, then collaborate to create solutions. Each person sets a personal goal and a realistic timeline for change. The table becomes a place of clarity, not chaos.
