EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In this episode, I take your calls. We start with a mom whose daughter-in-law has pulled her son away and left her apologizing for things she never did... and the words to stop. Then I get into how to respond when someone asks "why'd you do it like that," how to handle a boss who's just mean, and what to say when someone wants to talk politics and you don't agree. The thread running through all of it: you don't have to keep saying sorry to keep the peace. If you're tired of being the one who always backs down, this episode is for you.
