“How are you?” is a widely used conversation starter. What no one mentions is that hearing this can be stressful for many.

After losing Jim, I’d think “How do you think I am?” while muttering some other, more polite response.

I know everyone asking means well. 1000%! I just want you to be aware that it honestly can be a difficult question.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss this as well as things to say instead.
