That three letter word that can completely erase every compliment, and raising decent human beings!!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2560935/fan_mail/new] Have you ever noticed how one tiny three-letter word can completely change the meaning of a sentence? This week on A Little Unhinged, we’re talking about the power of the word “but” and why it has a way of erasing every compliment, encouragement, or positive thing that comes before it. Whether you’re talking to your spouse, your kids, your coworkers, or even yourself, that one little word can completely shift how a message is received. We also dive into a conversation that’s becoming more relevant every day—raising decent human beings. What values matter most? How do we teach kindness, accountability, and respect in a world that often seems to be missing those things? And of course, we couldn’t leave out one of our favorite topics: work ethic. Amber and Brittney discuss why they were raised to believe that hard work isn’t optional, why they take pride in giving 100%, and why it sometimes feels like that mindset is becoming harder to find today. In this episode, we discuss: * Why the word “but” can unintentionally cancel out a compliment. * Better ways to communicate encouragement and constructive feedback. * The importance of raising respectful, responsible, and kind humans. * Why accountability still matters. * Our thoughts on work ethic, personal responsibility, and doing your best—even when no one is watching. * Plenty of our usual unfiltered conversations, laughs, and relatable stories along the way.

Why everyone ACTUALLY does need a “Death Book”, getting your affairs in order, and Memorial Day family outing!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2560935/fan_mail/new] This week on A Little Unhinged, we’re talking about something nobody wants to think about… until life forces you to. After Amber’s grandfather recently passed away without many of his affairs in order, suddenly Brittney’s “death book” idea doesn’t sound quite so crazy anymore. What started as a joke to some, turned into a very real conversation about grief, family stress, passwords nobody can find, accounts nobody can access, and how unprepared most of us actually are for the unexpected. We talk about why people avoid conversations around death, what every adult should probably have written down somewhere, and the chaos families are left to figure out while grieving. Of course, because this is A Little Unhinged, we also discuss new mother in law  panic, funeral preferences, husbands trying to survive without us, and which people absolutely should NOT be allowed to speak at our funerals or even walk in the visitation line!😂 It’s raw, honest, emotional, practical, and somehow still funny — basically the most unhinged adult conversation we’ve had in a while. So ask yourself this: if something happened to you tomorrow… would anybody know literally what to do or where to find anything?
