Bullying: Taking the high road

We as humans are flawed! It’s what makes us human, and it’s beautiful! However, it’s pretty natural for us to have insecurities and sensitivities, and there will always be people who capitalize on those things and try to use them against us. Oftentimes we give too much power to those kinds of people (bullies) and we can tend to let the words of others dictate how we feel about ourselves.  Sometimes bullies are strangers on the internet, but sometimes they can even be our friends or family. More often than not, bullies are projecting their own insecurities or flaws onto us and either intentionally, or unintentionally hurt us. So how do we ‘block the haters’ and move forward, loving ourselves with all our imperfections? In this episode, Kass and Steve share some of their personal experiences with bullies and how they’ve learned to handle the negativity in a positive way. They talk about the importance of setting boundaries, communicating in a non-reactive way, learning to laugh at your flaws, and taking the high road when you feel like you’re under attack.
