Summary
Whether it’s a tense moment mid-podcast, a weird fight with your partner, or a silent meltdown over the dishwasher—this week, Kelly and Chip dig into the moments that seem small but hit surprisingly hard. Inspired by a real-time disagreement between Kelly and astrologer Marv, they explore how emotional triggers sneak into our reactions... and how it’s rarely about what we think it’s about.
From ego flare-ups to awkward self-awareness, they break down:
– Why that “tiny” comment felt like a personal attack
– How to tell the difference between overreacting and finally reacting
– What to say when you’re actually feeling hurt (and not just mad about the text)
– And the art of not combusting at the cookout
With the 4th of July around the corner—aka prime time for family tension and wine-fueled sensitivity—Kelly and Chip offer real (and funny) tips to help you pause, reflect, and maybe not flip a table over the potato salad.
Because the fight’s rarely about the thing… it’s about what the thing poked in you.
