Why do some people love and others hate confrontation? And if you (like Leo) hate confrontation, how can you get better at it??

We tackle these, and many other, questions in this episode all about confrontation! We start by discussing our own experiences with confrontation and how we handle confrontations with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers! We also did some research into the different conflict management types and ways people deal with confrontation - whether it is through compromising or even competing against the other person. To finish off the episode, we share some of the ways that we try to deal with confrontation in a better & healthier way. 🤍💪🏼

WE'RE BACK - SEASON 2 

We are so excited to be back for Season 2 as we have so many exciting episodes planned and lots of amazing guests joining us!! 

In this week's episode, after a little catch up, we share our personal experiences living away from home, and how this has impacted our identities.

Over the past few weeks, Leo and I have both had some realisations that have really made us think about how we cope being away from our “home” and in some sense the sacrifices we’ve had to make to experience the opportunities here in the UK.

We end the episode with our advice on how deal with living abroad! 

So pour yourself a matcha and as always, we would love to hear your thoughts! You can message us on @the.matcha.diaries where we post daily!
