3.11 Are Manners Dead? Claire thinks Southern Etiquette Might Save Us…

What if “being real” has become an excuse for being rude? In this episode, we explore the line between honesty and etiquette—and why manners are less about politeness and more about keeping relationships intact. Through stories about raising respectful kids, dressing for the role you want, and meeting a partner’s parents with grace, we unpack the difference between niceness and kindness.We also look at the small gestures that build connection—offering a drink at the door, making one thoughtful effort when hosting, or sending a handwritten thank-you note.
