Send us Fan MailHave you ever noticed how one tiny three-letter word can completely change the meaning of a sentence?This week on A Little Unhinged, we’re talking about the power of the word “but” and why it has a way of erasing every compliment, encouragement, or positive thing that comes before it. Whether you’re talking to your spouse, your kids, your coworkers, or even yourself, that one little word can completely shift how a message is received.We also dive into a conversation that’s becoming more relevant every day—raising decent human beings. What values matter most? How do we teach kindness, accountability, and respect in a world that often seems to be missing those things?And of course, we couldn’t leave out one of our favorite topics: work ethic. Amber and Brittney discuss why they were raised to believe that hard work isn’t optional, why they take pride in giving 100%, and why it sometimes feels like that mindset is becoming harder to find today.In this episode, we discuss:Why the word “but” can unintentionally cancel out a compliment.Better ways to communicate encouragement and constructive feedback.The importance of raising respectful, responsible, and kind humans.Why accountability still matters.Our thoughts on work ethic, personal responsibility, and doing your best—even when no one is watching.Plenty of our usual unfiltered conversations, laughs, and relatable stories along the way.As always, thank you for being here and doing life with us. 💙Support the show + check out our partners:Special Thanks To Our Sponsors!!
