Solving Conflicts Through Good Communication

Published: July 9, 2020, 10:45 a.m.

Hey there! In this week’s 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.
