REPLAY: One Rotten Apple
In this episode, we sit down with Nicole and A, two passionate Facebook group admins who set out to create a haven for like-minded crunchy women seeking support, empowerment, and camaraderie in a Southern town. Their intentions were pure, and their vision radiant—to cultivate a positive and loving online and in-person community where women could thrive together and find a healthy lifestyle for their families in the deep-fried South.
But as we all know, even the most idyllic landscapes can fall prey to a single rotten apple. In this case, that rotten apple was one toxic and deceitful individual who disrupted the harmony that Nicole and A had worked so hard to foster. Join us as we explore the journey of these two admins, the highs, the lows, and the heartbreaking downfall of a community torn apart by one toxic person's actions.
They’ll share the warning signs that went unnoticed, the challenges faced by Nicole and A, and the devastating consequences of toxicity within a supportive group. This episode is a cautionary tale for online community leaders and members alike, reminding us of the fragility of even the most well-intentioned spaces.
