Ep. 582: Sharing Personal Stories on Public Platforms

There’s this funny thing about being a creator on the internet—strangers think they know you. And while we post the things we post with connection in mind, there are always a few… oddballs (to put it nicely) who take things too far and act like they know us, when they really don’t. We absolutely overshare on the internet, and especially on this podcast, but for as much as we do share, there are so many pieces of personal information that we keep behind closed doors. Para-social relationships are bound to happen when you’re as public as we are. Of course though, Bestie, we could never mean you!
