44. SELF EXPRESSION, CANCEL CULTURE AND THE TROUBLE WITH THE LACK OF NUANCE IN THE ONLINE SPACE WITH LAUREN FORTUNA-FLOCH

Have you ever stayed silent on a topic out of fear that you don't know enough? That you'll say the wrong thing? Or that you'll be cancelled from a group of people? Me too! In this episode, I'm graciously held by my friend Lauren while I share an experience that unfolded earlier this year. This conversation is important to have and also hard to navigate. During the process of creating this episode, I battled a lot of mind chatter questioning if this story is even worthy of being made public. I felt like I needed to be very careful with my words and am still holding a lot of fear around how this could be misunderstood. The good girl conditioning and people pleasing tendencies that I've been working hard to unlearn and heal from have been creeping in, and I've also been practicing deep self compassion and space holding for myself. I invite you to be open and curious as you're listening and please reach out and share any reflections or musings that come alive for you.
