“You get more with sugar than you do with sh*t.”
My loving Grandmother taught me this!
She is a wild card, a tough nut, and speaks her powerful truth.
Annndd.... sure, it’s cheeky — but it’s also neuroscience. 🧠✨
When we meet anger with anger, or chaos with chaos, our nervous system mirrors the threat.
When we meet it with calm, clarity, and grounded energy — that’s co-regulation.
It’s not weakness. It’s leadership.
Taking the higher road doesn’t mean we’re passive.
It means we’re choosing conscious boundaries over reactive ones.
We can say “no” without hate.
We can step back without shutting down.
We can choose sugar — not to please, but to preserve.
And if ever there were a time to practice this, it’s now —
when so many of our global brothers and sisters are being met with violence, fear, and division.
This is how we resist dehumanization: by staying human.
It’s not toxic positivity. It’s regulated resistance.
And it’s powerful as hell. 💪🏽💛
If this hit home, share it — not to silence the pain, but to spread the reminder:
We can be fierce and kind at the same time.
