Social Media - The form of Expression

Episode 52

2 years ago

I am so passionate about social media because I find it so fun to connect with every single one of you. This is a place to discuss and express ourselves as entrepreneurs and women. It's a gift to be able to share our point of views and discuss them together on this platform. But at the same time it can also be hindered by the haters. So how can we find the balance between expression, business, community building and not pissing people off? 

Here's the thing - people will always have opinions about others opinions. It comes down to us knowing that our opinions are valid, and so is the person that has a completely different perspective/opinion on this platform. 

We need to remember that we as consumers have a choice to engage or not engage with content. We can decide as community leaders who has a spot in our community and who doesn't. If I offend someone or if someone offends me, I like to think about that feeling. What is this bringing up for me? Why do I feel this intense emotion? Most of the time it has to do with me - not them. 

And if someone continues to feel an emotion that is unhealthy, maybe it's become a pattern with this other person, sometimes cutting ties is the best way to go. However I hope as a society, we can get to a place where understanding that other opinions are valid, even if we disagree, is just a part of life.
