Name & Pronoun Protocol: Say Names Right to Build Respect and Momentum

Names and pronouns are small signals that carry outsized trust—or friction—when handled clumsily. In this 120–200 word episode Sarah lays out the Name & Pronoun Protocol: three compact moves you can use across profiles, DMs, voice notes, and first meets (How to Offer, How to Ask, How to Repair). Listeners get exact one‑line scripts that preserve dignity (quick self‑intro patterns, gentle ask templates, graceful correction lines), timing rules (when to ask privately vs use a public profile cue), and a short 3‑thread micro‑experiment to practice once this week and log comfort and response type. The episode models tone so corrections land calm not confrontational, provides privacy guardrails for when someone prefers not to discuss identity, and includes neurodivergent and cross‑cultural phrasing swaps. It finishes with a clear subscribe CTA in Sarah’s motivational voice and the show sign‑off: Stay curious. By the end listeners can handle name and pronoun moments with clarity, kindness, and forward motion.
