Summary
In this episode, we open up about our own experiences with online trolling and abuse and the reality of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of it. From nasty comments and fake accounts to the emotional impact it can have behind the scenes, we talk honestly about how it’s affected us and how we’ve learned to deal with it. We share the coping tools that have helped us most, including mindset shifts, gratitude, blocking, muting and setting firm boundaries online, and why protecting your peace has to come first. We also talk about resilience, community, and the importance of having people around you who get it and have your back. The conversation naturally leads into wider concerns around social media, influencer culture, and the impact all of this can have, especially on children and young people. We chat about using platforms more responsibly, knowing when to step back, and remembering there’s a real human on the other side of the screen.
