If a smug comment, a passive-aggressive text, or a condescending tone can stay in your head for hours, this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the hardest part is not the comment.

It is what happens after.

After they say it.

After you should be over it.

This might sound familiar if:

• A rude comment stays with you longer than you want it to

• You know responding will make it worse, but silence still feels wrong

• The second you do not answer, it starts to feel personal

In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of negativity that does not end when the moment ends.

Because the thing that keeps pulling you back may not be the comment itself.
