Ep. 25 - Why We Put People on Pedestals (and What It Reveals About Us)


Listen Later

What if the people you admire—or can’t stand—are showing you hidden parts of yourself?

In this episode, Allison and Kristen unpack why strong reactions to others often reveal what we’ve lost, rejected, or longed for. Sometimes this shows up as infatuation or putting someone on a pedestal; other times, it’s irritation or harsh judgment. Either way, those big reactions signal something deeper asking to be reclaimed. Through honest stories and psychological insight, they explore how noticing these reflections can lead to profound self-discovery, healing, and a more authentic sense of wholeness.
