What to Say When Texts Go Badly

Ever get a text message that makes you wonder, “What am I even supposed to say to that?”

In this episode, I’m breaking down real text messages and emails from people dealing with difficult conversations at work, with family, and in friendships. From passive-aggressive bosses and controlling coworkers to family tension and hurt feelings, I’ll show you what works, what makes things worse, and what you can say instead. Because sometimes, changing just a few words can change the entire conversation.
