Manage episode 505540489 series 3459435
Navigating life's hardships comes with the added challenge of deciding what to share with others. Whether you're facing job loss, health concerns, or family difficulties, questions from others can feel intrusive and overwhelming. In this episode, I introduce a powerful framework called The Four Levels of Response, designed to help you know exactly what to say—and what not to say—depending on who’s asking.
At the heart of this episode is a powerful four-layer framework that puts you back in control of your narrative. You'll discover how to create different levels of response for various people in your life—from your innermost circle to casual acquaintances. This isn't about being secretive or deceptive; it's about being intentional with your truth and protecting your emotional energy. This episode offers a transformative approach to handling these sensitive conversations with confidence and grace.
