Hey there! In this week\u2019s episode I give my usual tea talk, life update, and current faves. Then, I share the importance of cultivating problem solving skills and how I got the idea for this episode. Next, I take a look at my behaviour and steps when confronting a problem, followed by how I feel that is greeted. Afterward, I touch recognising mistakes, being judgemental, and the deal with mediators. In addition, I asked my mum and sister for some input on how their thoughts. I wrap up with some of my main ideas.\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\n\nCheck out the things I mentioned in this episode (in order of appearance):\n\nPretty Basic podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/68A5qikGHcsXiZU4W0Hz6q?si=dwiDSUPsRnqu6k9ySykMUQ\n\nBBC Ideas YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/bbcideas\n\nYouTube video where I got the quote \u201cyou have two ears and one mouth, there\u2019s a reason for that ratio\u201d https://youtu.be/dsssStFm4aA\n\nWhy we need to feel heard YouTube video: https://youtu.be/hnQwaVnv-FA\n\nMy episode on the importance of dissatisfaction (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/6dzfaa5heVvkVVHgvnTR1a?si=7KKlVo_aTVaOndsKvmFggw \n\nCheck out the episode I made with my mum, \u201cDon\u2019t expect anything from anyone\u201d (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/4aTOfTDZvdevJ9lijO7rKB?si=jUTS0zaFQX-C1vXCcn0UTg\n\nCheck out the episode I made with my sister where we talk about TV shows (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2J4V3eEeyQso6zYtncgeHS?si=_9GcLeKkQ3SbJSAggiZrVA\n\nHere are some quotes I liked from this week\u2019s episode:\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to see what we can do to improve and enhance the skills we have so that we can minimise the conflicts that we have with those around us and we can effectively solve the conflicts that do arise\u201d\n\u201cMake sure that our communication is something that we take the time to improve so that it\u2019s a tool we have for any conflicts that may come\u201d\n\u201cThat will make for uncomfortable situations and possibly even conflicts, but we have to learn to handle those situations in a mature way\u201d\n\u201cMake people feel heard\u201d\n\u201cI make sure that I acknowledge and recognise the person\u201d\n\u201cLet the other person know that you accept their feelings\u201d\n\u201cSometimes we just have to agree to disagree\u201d\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
