The Connected Life

349: Is Emotional Health Your Religion?


Listen Later

In this episode, Justin and Abi explore how emotional health, once rooted in compassion, can begin to mirror the rigid structures of religion. They unpack how judgment, superiority, and performative belonging often hijack tools meant for connection and healing.

With honesty and humor, they reflect on how emotional health can lead us toward love and humility, yet sometimes becomes a weapon of shame and exclusion. Through personal stories and cultural insight, they invite listeners to ask: Am I using emotional tools to connect, or to separate?

This conversation is a call back to compassion, nuance, and the kind of boundaries that don't require someone else to be "bad" for us to feel safe.
