Ep. 538 How to Bounce Back from a Bad 1st Impression
Manage episode 497205228 series 2150607
In this throwback episode, we get all too relatable talking about making a bad first impression. Made a weird joke? Came on too strong? Forgot how to speak English the second she looked at you? We’ve all been there—and this week, we’re talking about how to come back from a cringey first impression without losing the girl (or your dignity).
Comedian and crowd-reading master K.T. Tatara joins Kristen to break down what actually kills a first impression and more importantly, how to recover with grace, humor, and a little self-awareness. They dig into:
The difference between awkward and unrecoverable
Why trying to “over-fix” makes it worse
How to use self-deprecation strategically
The power of naming the weird energy in the room
When to own it, when to pivot, and when to walk away
Whether you’ve bombed a banter opener or said something that made her eyebrows do the thing… this episode is your crash course in bouncing back.
