Social media can bring out the best — and the worst — in people. Recently, I experienced a wave of toxic comments on LinkedIn after sharing my perspective on an ICE recruiting ad. What surprised me most wasn’t just the negativity, but the reminder of how important it is to protect your peace in online spaces. In this episode, I share the lessons I’ve learned about managing emotions during heated exchanges on social media, including family and friends, and knowing when to shut it down. You’ll learn: Why toxic comments feel worse in spaces you don’t expect them How to handle it when even family or friends engage online Why it’s important to know when to shut it down A journal prompt to help you create your own strategy for online resilience Resources & Next Steps ✨ Subscribe to the Insider emails for weekly encouragement [HERE] 🌐 Visit the Website to stay connected [HERE]
