The Powder Room
Intention Versus Perception
In this episode of The Powder Room, we’re exploring the messy middle between what’s said and what’s heard — because somewhere between our intention and someone else’s perception, the message often gets lost.
Lady Ivy unpacks how effective communication has become a lost art in the age of social media, where memes, emojis, and text speak have replaced real conversation. She discusses how easily tone and meaning can be misread, why we must take ownership of our emotional triggers, and the fine line between being honest and just being mean.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or struggled to express yourself without causing offense, this episode will challenge you to pause, reflect, and communicate with both truth and grace.
