Episode notes
Handle Dismissal With Vulnerability
- When someone dismisses or insults you unintentionally, express how their words made you feel instead of attacking them.
- If they are deliberately disrespectful, the best response is to walk away and protect your peace.
Walking Away Is Standing Up
- Walking away from a toxic conversation is an act of standing up and holding your ground.
- Power lies in choosing not to engage and showing you care little about their opinion.
Pause Before Responding
- If overwhelmed in a conflict, pause and take 10 seconds before responding.
- Use that time to decide what you want to achieve from the conversation.
