Native American Series 2 | Amplify Native Voices in the Classroom Online Course | Heather Francis and Stephanie West

Today's Guest is Science Fiction Romance author Stephanie West. Stephanie says:  Writing is my hobby. As a child, I had a hard time learning to read, so anything I took an interest in was deemed acceptable. I have always enjoyed fairy tales, the older unsanitized versions, as well as the modern ones, mythology, science fiction, action and romance. As I read, my mind wanders, spinning its own tales. So, I figured I'd share my ramblings with you.  The books I write contain little snippets from my life. I leave it to you to decide which scenes are fact, fiction, or a bit of both. I am far braver and bolder than is likely sensible, so my heroines are just as gutsy. I'd probably be categorized as an adrenaline junky. My life has been an adventure. I've done archaeology in the hot sun, am well versed with power tools, took Tae Kwon Do in college, have ridden on a Harley with a dark stranger, but never met an alien, vampire or shifter, that I know of.  It is my greatest hope you finish each story inspired to make your dreams come true no matter how impossible they may seem.  Thank you for going on this journey with me and here’s to the imagination and a little daydream.  https://stephaniewestauthor.com/  https://www.amazon.com/Stephanie-West/e/B01DS8RRHY

Truth be told, conflict done well builds the greatest intimacy and trust within relationships. But who likes conflict? Lawyers and... hmmm....? Most avoid conflict due to time, their experiences in their family-of-origin, the differences in hardwiring, and lack of modeling. Many of us have a false idea that having no conflict is a good thing when actually it means we are not getting beneath the surface or learning through practice. Others like the energy of the debate but lack tools to bring a healthy resolve. Join Terra, Beth &amp; Steph as we have a candid conversation around navigating conflict well. When we lean in, we risk building healthier relationships with our spouses, our children, our friends, colleagues, courageous girls groups, and more.  Terra has been a licensed marriage and family therapist helping thousands navigate conflict for years. She is joined by her friends and Courageous Girls colleagues, Beth and Steph, who together are helping hundreds of women and their daughters navigate the variety of conflict that arises through the journey of childhood, adolescents, and into being a woman. If you want more on the topic of conflict, then consider partnering with Courageous Girls as a CG Supporter and get exclusive content, like part 2 of this dialogue!
