About this listen
Ever been told to smile more—or asked if you’re okay when you’re completely fine? In this episode, Teresa takes a deep dive into the science behind resting bitch face (RBF) and why your neutral expression might be sending the wrong message. From facial anatomy and muscle habits to surprising research on micro-expressions, we break down what’s really going on behind that “look.”
Plus, Teresa shares her own experiences navigating awkward social interactions, workplace misunderstandings, and the frustrating double standards that come with RBF. And of course, we explore whether there’s anything you can actually do about it—without turning yourself into a permanently smiling cartoon character.
If you’ve ever been misunderstood just for existing with your face… this one’s for you.
