Episode 1: How to Navigate Awkward Conversations with Your Roommate

Welcome to the debut episode of Lost for Words! 🎙️ I'm your host, Karleigh, and this podcast is all about helping you figure out what to say in those tricky, awkward, or downright uncomfortable situations we all face in our relationships. In this episode, we’re tackling a relatable scenario: living with a messy roommate.

If you’ve ever wondered how to approach a roommate who doesn’t clean up after themselves without starting a fight, this episode is for you. We’ll cover:

• How to identify your goals for the conversation.
• Why subtle hints rarely work (and what to do instead).
• The importance of understanding your roommate’s perspective.
• Three actionable approaches to addressing the issue: lighthearted, direct, and avoidant.

Plus, you’ll hear my personal tips for improving communication and setting boundaries effectively—drawing from my experience as a communication graduate, project manager, and the go-to ghostwriter for my friends’ tough text messages.

💡 Don’t miss the advice, examples, and insights that will help you handle not just messy roommates but other difficult conversations in your life.
