The Five‑Word Test: A Micro‑Reply to Read Chemistry Fast

Long threads and overloaded inboxes punish curiosity. The Five‑Word Test gives listeners a single, repeatable micro‑reply they can send to any thread to learn a lot with almost no effort. In this 120–200 word episode Sarah opens with a vivid 20s vignette where a five‑word reply (“Love that—coffee Sun or Sat?”) converted an ambiguous chat into a clear next step. Then she teaches the Test: three five‑word patterns (Mirror‑Warm, Window‑Nudge, Safety‑Soft) with exact word-for-word examples for text, voice‑note caption, and profile pin; timing rules for when to deploy (first reply, mid-thread drag, post-silence); neurodivergent and cultural swaps; and a simple 3‑thread micro‑experiment so listeners can try one pattern three times and log a single metric (next‑step clarity yes/no). The episode models two reads so listeners hear cadence and provides an explicit subscribe CTA in Sarah’s voice and the sign‑off: Stay curious.
