Maxxine Dupri says she has no time for fans who criticize her as she continues to learn the professional wrestling business.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Wellness Her Way” podcast, the Alpha Academy member commented on what she would tell her younger self, paying less attention to criticism online, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what she would tell her younger self: “If there was something that I could tell myself prior, I have two. If it was prior, it would be to trust the process. It’s so easy to get sucked into overthinking every little thing and trying to dissect how to get to the next level, when really, I couldn’t have planned how my fate worked out. It just happened and I was what they needed at that time. Even though I was injured, they were able to call me up, which is rare, but if it’s meant for you, it’s meant for you, and it’s not going to pass you. Trusting the process is one. Second one, which is what I’m really working on now, so I’m more saying this for myself, is not putting so much value on other people’s opinions of you and remembering what I was placed here to do. My job is to make people smile and enjoy what I’m doing and continue to get better. I can’t place so much value on what other people think of me all the time.”
On paying less attention to criticism online: “What I’ve started doing is not scrolling as much. I used to scroll a lot, scroll through comments, and see what people were saying. Why do I need to? I don’t need to. If there is something I need to see, I’ll see it at some point. I don’t need to scroll and search. It’s not necessary. For one, it’s not even looking for it. For two, something that I like to practice and I hope everyone else can practice, just comment kind things on people’s posts. If I see something I like, I comment something kind. Let me contribute kindness to someone else’s post, and eventually, that will all circle back.”
