Is the fear of meanies, trolls and haters holding you back on using social media for your business? Or even worse - preventing you from showing up with confidence for your business?  

Is the fear of meanies, trolls and haters holding you back on using social media for your business? Or even worse - preventing you from showing up with confidence for your business? 

I want to help you turn that fear on its head.


I used to be crippled with fear. I was bullied as a teen so was super sensitive to negative comments, and then mixed with my ADHD rejection dysmorphia, a fear of being wrong, and a strong dislike of conflict and it would mess me up bad


There’s something about keyboard warriors who don’t even know us and how we allow them to ruin our day, week and worse, ALL OF OUR CONFIDENCE.


In this session we'll talk about what a hate comment is, how to spot actual trolls and meanies and what to do when you get one.


Those haters might be doing YOU a favour ! It's all a matter of how we see it. I'm going to help you reframe your thinking, and give you a strategy that will work on any platform


I'll walk you through a process you can use to overcome anxiety around negative comments, and then show you how to really maximise the comments (once we've determined they are hate comments) to build engagement, and community and help you find your ideal customers.
