In Becky's 200th podcast episode, she talks about handling conflicts well. She starts where the last episode ended and talks about the third step: calming yourself and the other person down during arguments by taking breaks or doing calming activities like breathing exercises. Then, she talks about the fourth step: compromising, which she says isn't a bad thing but should be done in a fair way that respects everyone's views. She shares a personal story about resolving a conflict. The fifth step is about dealing with the deeper reasons behind conflicts. Becky wraps up by summarizing the steps and saying that dealing with conflict can bring people closer. She also mentions a webinar coming up where she'll talk more about handling conflicts healthily. 00:00 Celebrating 200 Episodes: A Milestone Moment 00:31 Diving Into Healthy Conflict: Steps to Navigate Disagreements 01:01 Soothing Strategies: Managing Emotional Flooding in Conflicts 04:28 The Art of Compromise: Finding Middle Ground 08:17 Addressing Emotional Injuries: Beyond the Surface of Conflict 10:37 Wrapping Up: Recap and Looking Forward
