Ep 4: Dismantling Pedestals: Humanizing Those We Admire

This week Holly and Kristina unpack how breaking down pedestals allows us to be more human. They unpack why we might put people on pedestals and the impact it can have on our lives, and how it can lead to de-humanizing each other. The person who we pedestalize is left with the responsibility to uphold our values, while we outsource our power to them. They talk about this idea on a cultural level with examples of actors, singers, and politicians, while acknowledging how this impact also touches our day to day lives and relationships. As we learn to de-pedestalize people, we allow them to be human again. In that process, we re-humanize ourselves as well.
