Whether it’s trolls, unsolicited opinions, or flat-out hate—every creator faces negativity at some point. In this episode of The Social Circle, we’re getting real about how to handle negative comments without letting them wreck your confidence (or your content).
Candace and Jennifer share their personal experiences, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and how to stay focused even when the comments get loud. From building your “response bank” to knowing when to block, respond, or just protect your peace—we’ve got practical tips to help you navigate the noise.
We also highlight creators who’ve turned criticism into connection and show you how to use online hate as a tool for growth. Plus: a behind-the-scenes look at our Mindset Reset course inside the VIP Circle and how it helps creators build real confidence.
🎯 Topics we cover:
Why online criticism happens (and what it really means)
The difference between trolling and feedback
Mental resilience strategies that actually help
What to say—or not say—when negativity hits your comments

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
