245. Why you need a classy clapback
Ever been hit with a ridiculous comment that left you speechless? Whether it’s “You’re profiting off cancer” or a sly dig at your pricing, negative feedback can rattle even the most seasoned professional—especially when your work is heart-led and purpose-driven.
In this episode of That Voice Podcast, I’m unpacking what it means to deliver a classy clapback—not a snarky comeback, but a clear, confident response that protects your message, your mission, and your mindset.
✨ You’ll learn:
— Why ignoring criticism isn’t always the best option
— How to build your own Q&A doc (just like we did in PR!)
— The secret sauce to turning hard questions into mic-drop moments
— Why “Yes, and…” is the most disarming way to begin a clapback
— How to prepare responses to both public critics and your inner doubts
🧀 Plus: a smelly cheese metaphor you won’t forget. (You’re welcome.)
Whether you’re growing a business, building a brand, or just sick of being caught off guard by comments that linger in your brain at 3am—this one’s for you.
