Ever had someone borrow your hoodie, your tools, or your favorite book—and somehow it never makes its way back home? In this episode, Big Slick gets real about the uncomfortable moment when you want your stuff returned, but you don’t want to look petty, desperate, or start unnecessary drama.

We break down the real issue behind “forgetful” borrowers: weak boundaries, not bad memory. People don’t forget what they borrowed—they assume you won’t ask. You’ll learn exactly how to request your belongings confidently, using clear wording, specific timelines, and simple follow-up messages that make the exchange easy instead of awkward.

Then we get practical with preventative strategies to protect your time, money, and sanity:
 • creating a personal “no-lend list,”
 • using quick photo receipts,
 • offering alternatives instead of handing over your valuables,
 • and staying present while something is used so nothing disappears.

We also tackle the repeat offenders—the friends, family members, or coworkers who turn you into their free supply store. You’ll learn how to set firm boundaries, stop over-lending, and protect your peace without guilt or apology.

If asking for your own belongings back feels uncomfortable, this episode gives you the exact words, the confidence, and the mindset you need. Hit follow, share this with someone who’s still missing half their stuff, and drop a review telling us the one thing you’re STILL waiting on.
