798: Break the Bullying Cycle and Become your Best Self with Maria Warlow

Why does bullying even exist? The feeling of trampling the dignity of others seemed satisfying as they lavish the reaction from the victim — pain, despair, and fear. But why do the bully even need to ignite their ego to the heavens? Perhaps something had happened from the past that made them lash out and erupt? Stop bullying the weak, poor, and marginalized. And it's not just the children that are being bullied, the adult people too! Workplaces, social events, to even just riding in a bus or train, someone suffers. Hear their voices and start repelling the toxicity induced by bullying!
Maria Warlow is the founder of Warlow Consulting, a successful retail business. As an experienced mother of two adult sons, Maria has a deep understanding of the challenges and impacts of bullying. Today, Maria talks about her personal experiences with bullying and shares her insights on the various forms of bullying, including physical, emotional, verbal, and cyber. She emphasizes the long-term effects of bullying on mental health, such as anxiety, depression, and aggression, and stresses the importance of early intervention and communication to address this critical issue.
