Have you ever left a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or like you were losing your mind? Emotional manipulation is a frustrating reality, happening everywhere from the dinner table to the boardroom. On this episode of Bacon Bits with Master Happiness, host Marty Jalove and special guest Tiffany dive deep into the subtle tactics people use to gain the upper hand.

We’ll arm you with the powerful BACON framework—a five-step solution to reclaim your power by learning to Breathe and set boundaries, Acknowledge their perspective, Clarify and call out behavior, Offer a new outcome, and Know when to navigate away.

Listen in for powerful analogies like the “rubber band and donuts” and the unforgettable story of the fence post nails that will change how you see conflict.
