Does it seem like our culture is bombarded with bullies these days? Everywhere we look, there are bullies at schools, homes, workplaces, and even online. I have some childhood history of bullying, and because of it, I have zero tolerance for mean people. But that’s not exactly what this episode is about. 

Today, we will answer the question… why is bully culture such a threat to our overall health and well-being. Even if you've never been bullied before, I encourage you to listen because there is a fascinating twist at the end.

How do we get there? Well, let me show you.


Together we unpack:

• The constant journey of learning along the way (1:30)
• My experience with childhood bullies (3:33)
• Bully vs. a frenemy (5:40)
• Mean girls at work (6:24)
• Are you telling me the bully gets projected... WHERE? (7:17)
• Your next steps in squashing your inner bully (9:33)

Bully culture is more pervasive than you think, and my challenge is for you to lean into how it is showing up in your life. Have you experienced different levels of bullying throughout your life? Maybe you are sick of how bullying has affected you and are ready to leave it in your past.
