Untangle Work
Learn to say the hard thing at work.
The feedback, the raise, the pushback. Untangle what you actually mean, rehearse it against the objections, then walk in and say it.
Free. Private. Nothing goes to your employer.
Watchthesentencechange.
The message you drafted at 11pm, and the one that gets you the meeting instead of the cold war.

How the fight starts…
Same colleague. Same issue. Different sentence.
Why we built a work mode
We built Untangle for the relationship at home first, on a simple belief: when your home life is good, your work life follows.
But the method underneath doesn’t care where the relationship lives. A sentence that can be heard is a sentence that can be heard, whether it’s said across a kitchen table or a conference table. The same five steps that stop a couple’s fight from going in circles will get your point across to your manager without it becoming a thing.
What you learn to say here
Four conversations most people postpone. All of them learnable.
01
Bringing it up at all
You've rehearsed it in the car park for weeks and said none of it. Tara helps you find the version you can actually open your mouth and say, and you practice saying it before it counts.
02
Handling “I don’t have time for this”
The brush-off, the deflection, the “that’s not what I said.” You rehearse against the pushback you're most likely to get, so it doesn't knock you off your point in the room.
03
Asking without apologizing
The raise, the title, the workload that quietly became two jobs. Learn to make one clear, makeable request, without the sorry, the hedging, or the resentment leaking through.
04
The clash that repeats
Same fight, different meeting. Untangle what it's actually about, what you need, what you respect in them, and what you're asking to change. Then say it like a colleague, not a combatant.
How it works
01
Untangle it
Ten private minutes with Tara, at your pace. What actually happened, how it landed, what you need, what you are asking for. You leave with one clean paragraph.
02
Rehearse it
Tara plays them. You say it the way you plan to say it, and she pushes back the way they actually would. You practice the opener, survive the objections, and leave with a walk-in card: your line, their likely pushback, your answer to it.
03
Say it yourself
You walk into the meeting, not an app. The words are yours, the skill is yours, and you'll use both long after this conversation. That's the point.
Two-sided clash with a peer? You can also send them an untangle link and Tara mediates between you, each from your own desk.
Built on the same foundations as everything here: Nonviolent Communication and The Art of WinWin Conversations. The method is yours to keep; you’ll use it long after the meeting.
What this is not.
This is not HR software. There is no admin dashboard, no record for your employer, no report to anyone. What you say here is yours, the same as it is for every couple who uses Untangle.
And it is not a formal channel. If what’s happening to you is harassment, discrimination, or anything that affects your safety, that deserves a formal process: HR, a union rep, or legal advice. Tara will tell you the same, kindly, and stay with you for the conversation part.
You already know which conversation it is.
Ten minutes, just you and Tara. Walk in Monday knowing exactly what you’re going to say, and what you’ll say when they push back.
