Sometimes the hardest conversations become the most healing ones.In this episode of The Manuel Transmission, Brad and Monnica talk about what happens after reactivity - when the fight ends, but the distance remains.They share how a family therapy session, a long season of silence, and a re-release of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill (Acoustic) helped them rediscover the courage to repair.From marriage and parenting to leadership and teams, they explore the anatomy of repair - why protection feels safe but connection heals, and how awareness bridges the space between.This one’s about honesty, forgiveness, and coming back to the table - again and again.☕️ Themes: Reactivity • Repair • Emotional Awareness • Courage • Connection • Leadership & Family Dynamics🎙 Hosts: Brad & Monnica Manuel - founders of RSG Performance and co-creators of The Manuel Transmission.RelationshipsLeadershipEmotional IntelligenceMarriage & FamilyPersonal GrowthCommunicationMindfulnessCoaching & CultureHealing & RepairResilience
