Gossip is one of those topics we don't often think about as a problem, or we might think it's not our problem. In reality, though, all of us have been affected by gossip: we’ve been gossiped about, we’ve been gossiped to, and yes, we’ve been the ones who’ve gossiped about others.

 

On today’s episode, we explore ten types of gossip. Some are guaranteed to surprise you!

 

From the "I just need to vent" gossip, to the "I need to get a life" gossip, each type is harmful and divisive. As we discuss these types, you might recognize some of your behaviors and learn how to avoid falling into the gossip trap.

 

This episode is a great conversation starter for teenage, college, and young adult daughters. If you’re in a small group, it’s one you might want to listen to and discuss together.

 

So, join me as we tackle gossip head-on and strive to love and respect others through our words and actions.

 

Xo,

Donna
