Why We Love To See People Fall

June 10, 2026 · 41 min

Show notes

In this episode, we’re unpacking the internet’s fascination with public mistakes, online backlash, and why it often feels easier to criticize than to extend grace.


From cancel culture and call-out videos to creator burnout and the rise of curated content, we explore how social media has changed the way we share, connect, and show up online.


I also reflect on my own relationship with the internet, how my boundaries have evolved over time, and why so many creators are choosing to share less than they once did.


This is a conversation about judgment, empathy, human nature, and the hidden cost of living your life in public.


So pour yourself a cup of tea and join me for an honest conversation about why the internet feels different now, and what that might reveal about all of us.
