The Power of Positive Social Media: Insights from Upworthy's Lucia Knell | 261

In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, we dive into building a healthy online environment—for yourself, your community, and the greater good. Our guest, Lucia Knell, Vice President of Upworthy and author of Good People: Stories From the Best of Humanity, shares her insights on harnessing social media for positivity and connection. Upworthy is known for uplifting and inspiring content, and Lucia has spent her career advocating for using the internet as a tool to unite rather than divide.

Lucia’s expertise has driven millions of social media engagements and inspired a movement to combat negativity online. Beyond her work, she’s an advocate for mental health and believes in the power of digital detoxes—something I wholeheartedly support. 

Takeaway: It’s hard to be what you don’t see, but when you look for the good and share it, positivity becomes contagious. The world needs more good, and so do you—so let it in, share it, and watch it grow.
