This special episode talks openly, truthfully, and vulnerably about stalking, harassment, and bullying.
Stevie opens the show with a personal account of why she created her podcast, which gave her a voice during a time when she was subjected to both online and offline bullying, harassment, and stalking which is ongoing.
In her journey, she openly posted back in April 2024 https://www.instagram.com/p/C5iIKigIWd5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== to raise awareness about the misinformation and lies being spread about her and her business by malicious and harmful accounts.
She did not realise that her post would reach Laila, who had been experiencing the same.
In this episode, Stevie and Laila come together to speak directly, openly and frankly about their individual experiences.
Note that the episode covers content that might be triggering, but the intention is to share their raw journeys and the glimmers of hope that came from the situation.
The intention is to give you hope and inspire others going through similar circumstances to find strength in their own voices, which has not been easy to do.
In a hope that their story and journey can make difference. Stevie and Laila cover the wellness industry and how companies and businesses are legally liable for adhering to legislative guidelines to keep individuals safe and their responsibility within this.
With the online world growing and the risk to life that can come from being subjected to harassment, bullying and stalking online they talk upon meta passports, so everyone can be held accountable for their actions on and offline.
