Hey friends, it's Rosie.
Welcome back to Radio Headspace.
Not too long ago, I was scrolling on social media when I saw a post from someone I deeply respect,
someone I've admired for many years.
And then, my jaw dropped.
She had posted something completely unhinged.
Not just a different opinion, but a full-on line in the sand.
If you don't believe X, Y, and Z, then unfollow me immediately.
It wasn't just conviction.
It felt like aggression.
Like she was drawing battle lines, and suddenly I saw her differently.
Not as a teacher, not as a colleague.
but as someone I needed to get away from.
So I did.
I unfollowed.
And honestly, it felt like a little act of self-protection.
Then, out of nowhere, came the text.
Those five little words capable of turning any calm person into a full-blown overthinker.
Hey, are you mad at me?
And my stomach flipped.
