Microscripts We Live By: The Tiny Lies That Shape Us

Calm it Down

About this episode

Have you ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t even close? Microscripts are those tiny, polite phrases we use to smooth things over. They might help us survive awkward moments, but they can also keep us from being seen. In this episode, we explore how to notice the stories we tell out of habit and gently rewrite them in a voice that sounds more like us. Say what you mean (but softer), as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.
