Today, we’re diving deep into an important, often unspoken topic: how to stay safe as a creator while embracing vulnerability in your content. Inspired by a heartfelt message from listener Casey, this episode is all about balancing authenticity with boundaries and how to protect yourself in this wild internet age.
What’s Inside:
- How to define and maintain a line between your public and private life
- Tips for safeguarding your physical, digital, and emotional safety
- Why vulnerability and safety can (and should) coexist in content creation
- Real-world examples of creators navigating safety and authenticity
- The power of boundaries and knowing your limits as a creator
Key Takeaways:
- Public vs. Private Life: You don’t owe anyone every detail of your life. Decide what you’ll share and what stays sacred.
- Digital Safety: Invest in a P.O. box, use a VPN, and consider aliases to protect yourself and your family.
- Boundaries Are Powerful: You get to decide how accessible you are to your audience—stick to your limits.
- Think About Who’s Affected: Your work doesn’t just impact you; it impacts those closest to you.
- Vulnerability ≠ Obligation: Share what feels good, and don’t feel guilty for keeping some things private.
