Have you ever shared a post that turned out to be fake—or watched a friend do it and cringed a little? You’re not alone. In this vlog, I break down how smart, capable women can stay credible online and avoid looking gullible.
Learn how to spot viral hoaxes, emotional copy-and-paste posts, and tech complaints that make midlife women seem out of touch. Discover why critical thinking is your secret weapon—and how a quick “pause, verify, think” moment keeps your feed smart and your reputation solid.
Key takeaways:
- Check facts before you share—legal-sounding posts can still be nonsense.
- Emotion doesn’t equal truth—verify before you copy.
- Curiosity keeps you sharp—complaining doesn’t.
