Dana Caspersen on the Keys to Conflict

Have you ever struggled as a parent? Or wondering why it's hard raising kids? What about your marriage? Do you ever feel like you and your spouse can't seem to get on the same page? You're in luck, and this episode is for you.

Join me as I sit down with award-winning choreographer and dancer Dana Caspersen. In this captivating conversation, Dana unwraps her transformative journey of embracing nonviolent communication through dance, a discovery that has influenced both her personal and professional life profoundly.

Together, we tackle the delicate subject of parenting - the perpetual performance mode, the struggle to focus on what truly matters rather than resorting to rewards and punishments, and the art of managing personal growth amidst all the chaos. Dana also offers unique insights into conflict resolution, offering a fresh perspective on how to navigate boundaries, support others in difficult relationships, and cultivate a mindful approach in conflict situations.

Dana's principles of conflict resolution have guided her in this pursuit, transforming her approach from choreography to dialogue design, and from coaching individuals to facilitating organizational change. So, tune in as Dana equips us with practical tools and invaluable perspectives on transforming how we handle conflict. This conversation promises to be engaging, enlightening, and a wellspring of wisdom.

Steve Campbell

Hey there — I’m Steve Campbell. I’m a husband, dad to four amazing kids, follower of Jesus, and someone who wakes up every day wanting to help people live with more clarity, courage, and purpose.

Life has taught me that faith isn’t just something you talk about — it’s something you live, wrestle with, and anchor everything to. My relationship with Jesus shapes how I love my family, how I lead, how I speak, and how I show up for others. Every podcast, conversation, and connection I make starts there — from a place of grace, humility, and hope.

My Heart Behind The One Big Thing
I started The One Big Thing podcast because I believe each of us is created on purpose and for a purpose. We all carry something unique that can make a difference — not someday, but right now. Through the stories, lessons, and conversations on the podcast, my prayer is that you’ll discover the spark God placed in you and feel encouraged to take your next faithful step.

I don’t have all the answers — but I’ve learned that when you stay close to Jesus, stay curious, and keep moving forward, amazing things can unfold.

Beyond the Mic
At home, I’m just “Dad.” My wife and our four kids are my greatest joy and daily reminder of what really matters. They keep me grounded, laughing, and trusting God in the middle of the chaos and beauty of everyday life.

I’m passionate about encouraging others — whether through a podcast episode, a post, or a conversation over coffee. I believe that hope is contagious and that small, honest moments can change lives.

What You’ll Find Here
This space is about real stories, faith filled encouragement, and practical wisdom for life and leadership. My hope is that you don’t just listen — you feel seen, challenged, and reminded that you’re not alone.

If you’ve landed here, maybe it’s not by accident. Maybe God’s nudging you toward your next “one big thing.” I’m glad you’re here — let’s walk it out together.
