Often Wrong

Often Wrong, the podcast featuring social impact experts who turn being wrong into an exploration of the middle and a chance to maybe get it right. In a world obsessed with being right, we flip the script on the hard questions and dig into divisive topics like society’s unnatural obsession with binaries or who we need to be mad at for gentrification. We might get canceled, but at least we’ll know why.

    ⚠️ What if we’re wrong about how we talk about social justice online? ⚠️In this episode, we get into how pretty language, empty reposts, and the fear of being “wrong” might actually be slowing us down more than helping the cause. It’s time to stop sounding like politicians on Instagram and start being real with each other. Justice is supposed to be for us—not just for the algorithm.

In this episode, hosts Lisa and Claire explore the secrecy that fuels addiction — and how honesty can interrupt the cycle. Lisa shares what eating disorder recovery taught her about shame and how even recovery models can reinforce silence. What if telling the truth — not abstinence — was the real beginning of healing?
