We want to hear our members because it tells us what's going on in the community, right? We need to know if something we're doing could land better. And we know everyone's evolving. Yet remaining chill while people rant, project a 💩 mood, or take over a conversation (either on live group calls or in posts) can be super draining. It helps to redefine our own sense of inner authority in the first place. After all, we're here for a reason. When we have authority, or sway, we can set boundaries that help everyone. We can listen without absorbing the energy of others, keeping us fresh for steering the conversation toward inclusivity. Do you have drama, ranting, unfiltered/random comments, or non-stop talkers in your community? Can you sway the conversation toward something more equal and productive, or do you just call the whole thing off? I'm revisiting this in my own community and I'd love to hear what experience others have. Let's talk! I'm Lydia, and I run the Jedi Calm community, where we talk about all things alignment, focus, reconciliation, calm authority, and are just generally chill.
