Episode 12- Let Them or Eff Them?... When to turn the other cheek or set a boundary.
We’ve all heard about the “Let Them Theory”—the calm, zen approach to just letting people do whatever they’re gonna do. But what happens when you’re over being zen and ready to channel your inner boundary-setting queen? Enter: Keltie Knight’s “F Them Theory.” In this episode, we’re breaking down what it really means, why it’s resonating online, and how to know when to let things slide… and when to say, “nah, F that.” We’ll swap stories, get real about petty revenge vs. healthy boundaries, and leave you with some laughs (and maybe a little attitude) for the next time someone tests your patience.
