Let’s talk about it—because words might not break your bones, but they can definitely bruise your soul (and maybe start a group chat war). 😅

In this episode, Mishelle and Meredith are peeling back the emotional layers of argument styles, sensitivity, and that blurry AF line between constructive criticism and straight-up toxic communication. From passive-aggressive subtweets to full-blown fights, they get real about how we show up when emotions run high—and how to do better.

Through personal stories and hot takes, they explore how self-awareness and emotional intelligence are the ultimate communication glow-ups. Because being “too sensitive” isn’t the problem—unexamined communication habits are.

✨ What You’ll Hear:

Mishelle’s confessions about mood-based arguing (relatable)
Meredith’s take on logic-first communication & why feelings still matter
Why “you’re too sensitive” is a lazy response—and what to say instead
How to spot the difference between feedback and shade
The link between toxic communication and unhealed stuff
Tools to give and receive feedback without losing your cool (or your confidence)
A reminder to pause before clapping back—you’re evolved now, remember?

This ep is your permission slip to own your voice, refine your delivery, and stop letting subtweets run your relationships. 👑
