L&J // We wanted to have chat about Cancel Culture, moral superiority, public monitoring and the narcissistic tendencies of our society, thinking everything is about us, as well as living up to perfectionist standards that don't leave room for people to do sth wrong and/or learn from it. Freedom of speech is more extreme right now  with social media as a medium, and following a crowd that is highly emotional, outraged and offended might not allow people to grow and change. We also touch on exploring your triggers and how to take accountability for your own emotions.

We also talk about...

• Publicly shaming & punishing others for their actions
• Not giving people room to process and grow
• No one makes you feel or think anything
• Taking self-accountability for your triggers 
• Processing your emotions and finding calm
• Leading with compassion instead of hate
