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 ​t​ell 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.​ ❤️
