You know that feeling – your heart starts racing, defenses go up, and the same tired argument patterns begin. What if you could transform those heated moments into opportunities for deeper understanding?
In this eye-opening workshop, you’ll discover powerfully-effective tools to navigate conflict without criticism, blame, or shutting down. Goodbye, walking on eggshells – Hello, honest and compassionate dialogue.
Through present-moment awareness and finely-tuned listening skills, you’ll learn to:
Notice defensive reflexes and catch yourself before reacting
⛔️ Halt the blame-shame cycle in its tracks
Voice feelings and needs in a way that invites connection, not combat
♂️ Ask engaged questions that forge mutual empathy
♀️ Stay grounded even when tensions rise
Whether with your partner (the primary focus of this workshop), family, or colleagues, mindful disagreement allows you to resolve issues with care instead of combativeness. Embrace a new way of relating that creates safety for vulnerability and rejuvenates intimacy.
Leave this workshop equipped with a roadmap for turning clashes into opportunities for growth. Reclaim your power to transform conflict into the closeness you crave.

ABOUT YOUR COACH:
Hi! I’m Jocelyn. I’m the creator and Chief Visionaire for Happy Partners Project and the Relationship Check-In(TM) Method. I’m also a multi-disciplinary relationship coach.
Here’s a little bit about my journey to birthing this product for you!
For a long time, I identified as a serial entrepreneur — the do’er, the go-getter. Then in my late 20’s, sparked by adrenal fatigue from startup life and lack of boundaries, I hit one of the most meaningful personal rock bottoms of my life. My health, my businesses and my relationships were challenged, culminating with an extremely toxic, on-again-off-again relationship. The realization that the relationship echoed childhood trauma I experienced was a wake-up call — “Wow! I have some deep work to do to break this pattern.”
I tapped into personal development work and Cognitive Behavioral Psychology + coaching programs. I discovered my life mission — to use communication and relationships as a framework for creating legacy change during my lifetime.
Now I identify as a change-maker here to teach healthier communication styles and healthier ways of being so people can be the best partners and the best people they can be in their lifetimes.
I created the “Relationship Check-In” Method in 2018 to support my own relationship and to give couples a proactive tool for creating healthy relationships.
Over 18,000 people are using this method since we re-launched the product in Feb. 2021.
