Episode description
The harsh truth about building a platform: visibility doesn’t come without a cost.
In this solo episode, I’m opening up about the love that fills your DMs… and the hate that follows you into your real life. From quiet harassment to viral praise, I’m sharing the moments that made me question if being seen was worth it—and why I still choose to show up.
I talk about:
- The emotional weight of going viral
- How harassment often shows up in quiet, relentless ways
- Why some comments stick with you more than others
- What I’ve learned about protecting my peace while staying visible
If you’ve ever second-guessed sharing your story online or felt the weight of other people’s opinions—this one’s for you.
This is Out of Office Era—where we unpack what happens when you stop living on autopilot and finally write your own story.
