Mary & Karen meet for a virtual happy hour to chat about gossip, how it’s affected them and how, with practice, they are learning to not let it leave their lips.

Here are the takeaways:

1. If you’re feeling offended or defensive, PAUSE to help you feel clearer so that you don’t go down the rabbit hole of gossip.

2. It’s ok to speak up. Don’t let things fester. Speaking the truth doesn’t have to be unkind.

3. Sometimes you need to disengage from people. And that’s ok.

4. Don’t get lost in people pleasing.

5. It’s awesome when you get to a point that you’re so content within yourself that you don’t need to gossip.
