We love a villain story. But not the real kind. The kind where someone is pushed, dismissed, shamed, or bullied… and then punished for finally reacting.

Inspired by Wicked, today’s episode digs into how society—and sometimes our own families—create villains out of honest, hurting people. We talk about scapegoating, emotional abuse, groupthink, and why the person who speaks up or refuses to play along gets labeled “difficult” or “dangerous.”

If you’re returning home for the holidays and already bracing yourself for judgment, gaslighting, or silent side-eye, this one’s for you. Because sometimes the real “wickedness” isn’t who we become… it’s what we’re forced to survive.

Let’s talk about the truth behind the villain narrative.
