From The Real Housewives to The Jerry Springer Show, today’s episode is all about conflict through the lens of pop culture.

She also breaks down the tactics we often see in the media, and how they can teach us to fight in healthier ways. Priya even encourages something we do on this show a lot…Sharing and defending Hot Takes!
