Ever feel that little spike of anxiety when someone asks: "So… what's going on with work?"

If your career is shifting, evolving, or in a "between chapters" season, that question can make even the most capable people freeze - not because they're failing… but because they don't yet have the language for what's emerging.

The FIX here is so simple, and instantly adds so much confidence back into whatever you're doing, but most people simply don't know the power of crafting communication scripts….

In this episode, Todd and Chris break down a simple 5-step communication framework that helps you speak about where you are right now with clarity, confidence, and authenticity - without oversharing, sounding uncertain, or falling into the "woe is me" trap.

You'll learn how to:

• Acknowledge your past without getting stuck in it
• Name the transition (without making it awkward)
• Share what's real in a way that builds connection (not discomfort)
• Shift the conversation toward possibility and momentum
• Make a confident "ask" that can create real opportunities (introductions, ideas, next steps)

This is the kind of small skill that quietly changes everything: your confidence rises, your relationships deepen, and your conversations start opening doors again. Listen to this whole episode as we provide detailed scripts throughout!
