What this episode covers
It's easier than ever to make someone else the villain. We label them. We pathologize them. We build a case against them — and it feels justified. But what if demonizing the people in your life is quietly costing you the very connections you most want to protect? Robin Quinn Keehn and Nina Mercie get honest about why we demonize others, the psychological payoffs that keep us doing it, and what it actually takes to stay curious instead of certain. Including a personal story from Robin about being on the receiving end of demonization — and what that taught her.
