On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how the internet has trained so many people to believe that every thought they have deserves a comment, their opinion, or a post...

And why that shit doesn’t really fly in real life.

I tell a couple of stories about unsolicited opinions (given both online and in person) and the emotional impact they can have on the receivers.

I also share how you can start using your voice more thoughtfully by revisiting the “three gates” of communication!

These questions are simple, yet powerful:

Is it true?

Is it kind?

Is it necessary?

And when put to good use, these suckers can save us all a lot of unnecessary suffering.

So, here's my invitation to you (and reminder to myself) to pause before you speak, type, send, or hit publish!

Together, let's explore turning off the “comment section” in certain conversations, standing up against cruelty, and choosing to use our words as a force for good, both on and off the internet. ❤️
