Ever notice how “I’m fine” is often code for “I’m anything but fine”? It’s like the emotional equivalent of a shrug—polite, noncommittal, and packed with more baggage than an airport carousel. We all do it, don’t we? Smile, nod, and hope no one pries too deep. In this episode of Calm it Down, we’ll unpack the art of hearing what’s not being said—the sighs, the subtle shifts in tone, the “I’m fine” that’s one breath away from a breakdown. Together, we’ll explore how to truly listen, not just with our ears but with our whole selves. Because sometimes the most important thing you can hear is what someone doesn’t say.
