Love Quirks

If you’ve ever had a fight about something totally ridiculous—like pizza toppings or throw pillows—there’s a good chance it wasn’t actually about pizza or pillows. In this episode, I’m unpacking how so many of our relationship fights aren’t really about what we’re fighting over, but why—and spoiler alert, it usually comes down to our core values. When our values (not just our opinions) clash, it hits differently—it feels physical, emotional, even existential. I’ll walk you through how to spot when it’s your values doing the arguing, not you and your love of life, and how getting curious, sharing perspectives, and identifying both personal and shared values can turn those exhausting fights into meaningful connection. Let’s find the thing under the thing and get back to being on the same team. About the Host: Meet Crystal, your relationship and social health coach.
