✨ What if someone says something mean to you… but they didn't actually mean it? And what if it keeps happening again and again?

In Episode 471 of the Dream Big Podcast, Sophia Karpman breaks down an important life skill every Big Dreamer needs to understand: the difference between someone being rude… and someone being a bully.

Through relatable examples and a simple story from the lunch table, Sophia helps you see how one small moment can feel very different when it becomes a pattern. Because knowing the difference isn't just about understanding what's happening—it's about knowing what to do next.

This episode isn't about reacting right away or being perfect. It's about learning to pause, notice, and choose how you show up—for yourself and for others.
