Sarcasm isn’t communication—it’s avoidance. Guilt jokes aren’t funny—they’re manipulation.
In this no-fluff episode of Success Unscripted, Jessica Rivera exposes the toxic communication habits that are destroying your influence and your relationships—especially if you’re over 30 and still calling it “just a joke.”

Jessica shares a real-life story from her own experience, backs it up with science from Harvard and Yale, and breaks down how guilt, sarcasm, and emotional reactivity are signs that it’s time to grow the hell up.

This episode is your wake-up call to:

• Speak like a leader, not a victim
• Stop taking everything personally
• Trade guilt-tripping for real connection
• Communicate your needs with clarity, not cruelty
• Check your sarcasm at the door and upgrade your emotional intelligence

🔊 It’s not just about talking—it’s about taking responsibility for the energy behind your words.
