Passive aggression is conflict in disguise, characterised by indirect resistance, sugar-coated jabs and strategic delays. In this episode, we unpack what passive aggression is, why it shows up in otherwise kind people, and how to replace sideways signals with clear, respectful language. You’ll get short scripts for saying the real thing and a calm, practical way to respond when passive aggression is aimed at you.
