Have you ever been in a conversation that went from calm to defensive in seconds, and you had no idea why?

Chances are, you used one of five danger words that instantly put people on edge. Most of us say them without even realizing it. But once you know what they are, you’ll start catching them everywhere… and you’ll be able to stop yourself before you make things worse.

In this episode, I break down:

• The 5 most common words that escalate conflict
• Why these words trigger defensiveness
• What to say instead to keep the convo calm and constructive
• How small shifts in word choice can restore, not ruin, relationships

If you want deeper friendships and fewer blowups, this one is a must-listen.

If you're "the fixer" in your relationships, you NEED to watch this episode, because I wish I had learned what I'm about to share with you much earlier in life. Being the “fixer” in your friend group can feel like a badge of honor! People come to you for advice, solutions, and insight. But what if your eagerness to help is actually pushing friends away? In this episode, I share how to shift your approach so you can be a better friend.

Why is it so hard to find real community as an adult?! In this episode, I’m joined by my real-life friend and actual community legend Mackenzie T'eo, founder of Bag + Barre gym, and someone I literally call the “Mayor of Sewickley” (where she lives) to talk about what it really takes to build meaningful friendships and lasting community when you move to a new town, and open a brick and mortar business that is dependent on human connection!

If you're in the Pittsburgh area, check out Mackenzie's gym!

Watching a friend go through a massive struggle is so painful, especially if there is nothing you can do to fix it. BUT, there is still a way you can help. If your friend is currently going THROUGH IT, and you want to support (or don't want to do the wrong thing and make it worse), this video is for you. This past year, I was that struggling friend, and based on my own experience of what worked and helped me, I'm sharing the top 5 steps you can take to truly support a friend through their struggles.

Adult friendships are hard. With all the buzzwords flying around like toxic friendships, cutting people off, and protecting your peace, it’s no wonder so many of us are silently wondering when it's time to end a friendship, how to know if it's actually over, and what to do if you want to keep the friendship alive.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 clarity-building questions that will help you figure out whether a friendship is worth rebuilding or releasing. These aren’t surface-level tips; these are the real, vulnerable questions I ask in my own life when I'm unsure where I stand with someone.
