    Support or Surveillance?

    Social media can make it hard to tell who’s genuinely supporting you and who’s just watching from the sidelines. In this episode, we’re talking about friendships, online support, and the difference between cheerleaders and lurkers. Some people celebrate your wins, repost your content, and encourage your growth. Others watch every story, keep up with everything you do, and never say a word. So what does real support actually look like in the social media era? We’re unpacking loyalty, envy, silent supporters, fake love, and the pressure that comes with constantly being visible online. Join the conversation and let us know who’s really in your corner?
