From personal experiences to major life events, we explore the psychological need for relevance, the social pressure to be “in the know,” and how social media has blurred the lines between presence and permission.This conversation unpacks intent vs. impact, cultural and generational differences around privacy, and what it really means to respect someone else’s experience. Because just because you witnessed it doesn’t mean you own it.We also talk about the other side the person whose story was told without consent and how to navigate boundaries, trust, and reclaiming your narrative.If you’ve ever shared something and didn’t think twice or had your story told for you this one will make you pause.🎧 The Fishbowl with Jade is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube.Come sit in the bowl and let’s take a deeper dive beneath the surface.
