Gossip Check-In, Amy’s Dating Update & “Sorry” Isn’t Weak (Couch Talks)

A friend starts telling you a story you’ve already heard, and it’s a long one. Do you speak up, or smile and let her finish? Amy and Kat debate what to do in that awkward moment, then share a simple gossip check-in Amy did with her son, Stevenson. Is what you’re about to say true, kind, and necessary? Turns out the guide might be even more helpful for adults. Plus, a little dating life talk, your sweet feedback on the episodes with Chase, a quick newsletter update for those who’ve been missing it, and a voicemail from a listener in corporate sales who pushes back on our over-apologizing episode. Her take? Authority plus humility equals strength, and sometimes a simple “I’m sorry” means more than a “thank you.” Here is the EXACT Gossip Check-In That Amy Did With Stevenson: → Is what I’m about to say true, kind, and necessary? → Why am I sharing this? Am I trying to feel connected, fit in, or get a reaction? → How would I feel if it were about me? Would I want someone else to say this about me? → Is this getting someone help? If someone is unsafe, tell a trusted adult instead of gossiping. → Am I sharing to entertain or judge? If to make someone look bad or get attention, it’s gossip. Have a question for us?
