This week we want all the smoke as we talk about confrontations at work and in life! Conflict is an inevitable part of life and definitely an unavoidable aspect of our careers and it's important we understand how to navigate it. From stepping on toes to learning how to de-escalate, we discuss our experience with confrontations and what we've learned from our lessons.

We also talk about goal setting with your friends, the headache of HOA, and how live is filled with full circle moments!
