Description

You're at a family dinner. Someone makes a cutting remark, everyone waits, and you have nothing. An hour later, the right sentence arrives in the car.

That delay can feel like proof you can't stand up for yourself. This episode explores why careful words are harder to find when you're caught off guard in front of people who matter—and why your silence says less about your courage than you think.

Hear why trying to become quicker may miss the problem, how preparing a response can help, and why you can still address the remark after the conversation has moved on. Today's Extra walks through the one-line practice.
