Episode 403: The Four-Pronged Approach That Will Diffuse Your Inner "Mean Girl"

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a prevalent issue I’ve seen recently: the rise of mean behavior, especially targeting those who don’t deserve it but who are more accessible as online business owners. It's a topic close to my heart, as I've seen friends and business colleagues, like Nathania Stambouli, a devoted yoga teacher, and Valerie Trumbower, a compassionate nighttime doula, face unwarranted negativity despite their genuine intentions to serve and uplift others.

It's disheartening to witness the toll such negativity takes, not just on the recipients but also on the perpetrators' own well-being and the ripple effect of that bad energy. That's why I'm sharing a fantastic four-pronged approach that addresses the physical, mental, behavioral, and energetic dimensions of this issue.

By removing the tension in our bodies and training our brains to replace the impulse to lash out with acts of kindness, we not only enhance our own well-being but also contribute positively to the lives of those around us.

As homework, I want to leave you with a call to action: be the kindest person you know each and every day. Let's collectively make a conscious effort to reduce our engagement with negative news and cultivate a culture of kindness both online and offline. Join with me to improve humanity in this technological society we are so influenced by and model more compassion towards others.
