by Elaine Froese | October 17, 2023 | Farm Family Harmony Podcast

In this episode, “The Dynamics of Conflict & its Resolutions,” Elaine introduces her guest, Crisol Gonzalez, who shares her journey from being a lawyer to embracing proactive conflict resolution practices.

Crisol emphasizes the use of “circles” as a tool to facilitate open and respectful family conversations, creating a safe space for discussions. They stress the importance of regular check-ins and communication to maintain strong family bonds.

The episode also touches on the recent loss of a close friend and highlights the need for supportive communities during challenging times, especially in farming.
