Are you a Karen… or are you just assertive? 😅 This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy Montgomery and Justin Joseph break down what “Karen” actually means (spoiler: it’s more than just asking for the manager) and whether blunt honesty is confidence… or weaponized entitlement.

We unpack the five “Karen” traits—neighborhood watch syndrome, escalation as a hobby, selective rule-following, intellectual inflexibility, and more—then apply them to a Dear Abby-style dilemma: two cold, soggy sandwiches, a 45-minute wait, and a friend who keeps calling you a Karen. So… is she a Karen, or just in the wrong zip code?

Plus:
✅ Katy tells a wild American Express story (grief + points = chaos)
✅ Justin admits he goes straight to the top (manager, immediately)
✅ The “Montgomery Grip” makes a comeback
✅ Viewer emails roast last week’s episode (Spanx, magnets, and mini-adventures included)
✅ Puppy Preston makes an appearance 🐶
✅ And we debate Kim Kardashian gifting each kid a dog (PETA is not amused)

If you’ve ever wondered “Was I being a Karen?”—this one’s for you.

Dry January? Not exactly.

In this episode of Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin take on Drink Less January (Terms Apply)—the loopholes, the pressure, the weight talk, and the minefield of trying to “encourage” healthier habits without blowing up your relationships.

From Dear Abby disasters to GLP-1s, football exemptions, and why unsolicited honesty is rarely helpful, this episode asks the real question:

Is it accountability… or are you just being an ass?
