90. Not Judging But... Let's Have A Word About Words

What is my problem? Why do your word choices affect me? And why does it bug me? I think I know and it doesn’t exactly paint me in the best light. But, I’m going to tell it like it is because maybe you feel the same way as I do. Or maybe you've seen me go off about certain terms and you think, “What a total Karen McJudgey Pants.” I don’t blame you. But maybe if you hear why I react like this, it’ll make sense? Let’s talk about it and see where we all land on this. *Adult Language Mentioned in this episode: I've Had It Podcast: Jan 4/24 (And agreed! "Brekkie" is the worst!)
