How to Choose Your Battles with a Toxic Ex & Stop Being Pulled Into Every Fight

Another "emergency" text at 9 PM. Another crisis that somehow requires immediate attention. You're exhausted from fighting with her about everything she throws at you.

In this episode, I break down exactly how to choose your battles with a high conflict ex without burning yourself out in the process. You'll discover why high conflict people create endless conflicts – it's not actually about the forgotten water bottle or the late pickup. These battles serve a deeper psychological purpose for them, helping them regulate overwhelming emotions and maintain control.

I'll walk you through my four-question framework that takes the guesswork out of when to respond and when to let it go. This strategic approach will help you stop spending hours agonising over the "right" response and prevent her drama from hijacking your entire week.

When you understand the real motivations behind high conflict behaviour and have a clear decision-making process, you can finally be strategic about where you invest your precious time and emotional energy. No more fighting every battle – just the ones that actually matter.
