Listen Later

In this episode, my former high school pal Tristi Weston and I...

  • discuss Tristi's journey as the mother of a chronically ill child and starting a massive social media community and organization called Humanizing the Badge
  • discuss how cancel culture and social media call-outs = someone showing up in your comments or DMs, taking a shit, and leaving you to clean up the mess
  • share how social media is full of people living in a perpetual state of offense and how nervous system dysregulation shows up online
  • discuss the harmful effects of harassment and dehumanization on social media
  • talk about Tristi's work to facilitate real-life conversations in communities and why that work is so much more important than social media "activism"
  • share the importance of having real-life, trusted communities for learning, growing, responsibility, and accountability
  • consider both the intention and impact. of what we post on social media and how we engage (or don't engage)
  • discuss the cost our nervous systems pay when we engage in and/or are targeted by internet call-outs, smear campaigns, and debates
  • share why we keep doing what we do online even though social media is a cess pool
  • give our best insights for navigating social media while trying to be a good human
  • discuss nervous system literacy and why we need to listen to our bodies when we're engaging on social media
