Sometimes being the “nice one” just isn’t it. In this episode, Phoenix Ash unpacks the tightrope walk between compassion and cold-blooded boundary-setting. Whether it’s dodging DMs from old flings with nostalgia amnesia, managing work chaos with surgical precision, or parenting with love and a firm “because I said so” — your girl is calling out the real: being labeled the a**hole might just mean you’re finally taking care of yourself. Phoenix spills on how being direct isn’t being rude, it’s being real. From shady text messages to toddler negotiations to co-worker time warpers, this episode is full of that energy. Think less people-pleasing, more peace-keeping (by any grown-ass means necessary).
