This week, I was reminded of something I think all of us face at some point — that sting of unsolicited criticism. I was doing what I always do: showing up for my community, sharing something I’ve worked hard on, and out of nowhere… someone jumped in with a comment questioning my integrity. 

You’ll hear the full story in this episode — including how one comment on a bow-making course (yes, bows!) triggered a much deeper realization in me. This episode isn’t just about dealing with negativity online — it’s about the inner work of staying rooted in your truth, protecting your energy, and choosing your response from love, not ego.

I’m sharing how I moved through it, what helped me shift back into peace, and how we can all respond in ways that reflect who we really are — not who we feel pressured to be in the moment.

Whether you’re new to running a business or you’ve been in the game a while, this episode will help you navigate criticism with confidence, compassion, and grace.

If this episode spoke to you, would you pass it along to a friend who might need the same reminder?
