Are you a Karen… or are you just assertive? 😅 This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy Montgomery and Justin Joseph break down what “Karen” actually means (spoiler: it’s more than just asking for the manager) and whether blunt honesty is confidence… or weaponized entitlement.

We unpack the five “Karen” traits—neighborhood watch syndrome, escalation as a hobby, selective rule-following, intellectual inflexibility, and more—then apply them to a Dear Abby-style dilemma: two cold, soggy sandwiches, a 45-minute wait, and a friend who keeps calling you a Karen. So… is she a Karen, or just in the wrong zip code?

Plus:
✅ Katy tells a wild American Express story (grief + points = chaos)
✅ Justin admits he goes straight to the top (manager, immediately)
✅ The “Montgomery Grip” makes a comeback
✅ Viewer emails roast last week’s episode (Spanx, magnets, and mini-adventures included)
✅ Puppy Preston makes an appearance 🐶
✅ And we debate Kim Kardashian gifting each kid a dog (PETA is not amused)

If you’ve ever wondered “Was I being a Karen?”—this one’s for you.
