In this episode, I’m exploring the idea of self-composure and elegance—how we can handle life’s messy, challenging moments with more grace and strength.

This was sparked by a story I heard on the Honestly with Bari Weiss podcast, where Peggy Noonan shared a simple but powerful response to rudeness: “How extraordinary.” 

It made me think about how we’ve lost touch with calm and composed strength, especially in a world that feels so reactive—online and in real life.

What would it look like to embody elegance in the way we respond to challenges and conflict? 

That’s what I’m diving into today, along with how I’m working on this in my own life. It’s not about perfection—it’s about choosing intention and grace, even in hard moments.
