So many of us brush off the little things in relationships, at work, or even in our own self-care. But are they really “no big deal”? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Alina Kastner, we dive into why those small moments, subtle behaviors, and everyday choices actually carry a huge impact.

We explore:

• Why minimizing the “small stuff” creates long-term damage

• The psychology behind why little things feel bigger than we realize

• How to spot patterns early before they become toxic

• Practical steps to build healthier, stronger connections

If you’ve ever wondered why something felt “like a big deal” when others dismissed it, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and tools to trust your instincts.
