Hey Weirdos! I’m braving it this week by putting out my first solo topic episode where I discuss a juicy topic with tips + advice. Something I’d planned to do more of from Autumn, integrating around interview episodes, but that I was compelled to spontaneously record after a recent experience with internet trolling!

Join me as I share my first experiences of negative comments online as a Millennial teenager, as we navigated the internet as Digital Natives, graduating the experience by discussing dealing with your first troll in your business.

To some, getting your first troll can be a good thing (“Look Mom, I made it!”), but the reality for many is that it can also be a negative or stressful experience - especially for Neurodiverse or emotionally sensitive business owners.

I’ll share my experience of what happened to me last week when I unwittingly outed myself as a blonde, middle aged jilted ex-wife to over a million people (note: I’m a happily married brunette 30 something), when I was simply trying to show appreciation to a fellow industry supplier. How did I put my foot in it so badly, what did the trolls say, and what did I do to fix it? Tune in to find out.

Whether you’re dealing with a troll at present, you’ve had your share in the past, or it’s something you’ve yet to experience, I hope my episode helps you to feel like you’re not on your own and gives you the invisible weaponry to tackle those keyboard warriors head on! It may not be the answer you think!

In true ADHD style I also enjoy a side topic discussing goal setting and accountability and how the internet can be a great place for a community of likeminded folk who will have your back. Just make sure you’re prepared if a troll slips in the back door!

Here’s that Red Cross Twitter faux pas article if you were interested too: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/red-cross-rogue-tweet_n_824114

Keep being your amazing weirdo self, and don’t let those trolls get you down!
