We all live inside a box.

In this episode, Michelle explores the idea of the “box ofignorance” and what happens when we are confronted with perspectives outside of our own. Do we double down and defend? Or do we open up and get curious?

From social media debates to everyday conversations, sheunpacks how awareness levels shape what we see, how we judge, and how we grow. When you understand that every person is doing the best they can from withintheir current box, judgment begins to fade and curiosity can take its place.

The question is not whether you have a box. The question iswhich box you are in and whether you are willing to grow beyond it.
