As we close out the year, the Peerless Etiquette Podcast invites you into a reflective, ceremonial exploration of renewal — the graceful art of letting go. In this deeply intentional episode, Mrs. Benjamin guides you through the etiquette of release: how to clear physical, emotional, and mental space with dignity rather than urgency.

In this thoughtful and quietly powerful episode, Mrs. Benjamin dismantles one of the most persistent myths about etiquette — the belief that it belongs to a privileged few. Through warm storytelling, reflective insight, and her signature ceremonial presence, she reveals etiquette as a daily practice of dignity, not a marker of class.

You’ll hear the story of a woman who believed she wasn’t “good enough” for etiquette, the quiet fears many people carry into refined spaces, and the truth that etiquette is not inherited — it is chosen. With her characteristic grace, Mrs. Benjamin guides listeners toward a deeper understanding of refinement as an accessible, human practice rooted in self‑respect, emotional intelligence, and intentional living.

This episode is an invitation to see etiquette not as performance, but as empowerment — a way of moving through the world with clarity, confidence, and quiet strength.

Stay Peerless.
