Ep. 54: The privilege to judge.
“You're only a good person, because your life has let you live that way.”
This statement speaks volumes about privilege, a topic that we’ll zero in on today's conversation.
In this episode, we’re talking about the choices we make based on the hand that life has dealt us. For those of us who’ve been blessed enough to have our basic needs met, let’s exercise some empathy and recognize what a privilege that is.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR
The idea of privilege [3:10]
Not everybody has the same value system that you have
Not everyone has the resources that you have (money, therapy, etc.)
People evolve differently depending on their privilege
Equity: everybody’s a different starting life
Privilege teaches us to be mindful of saying things that comes from a place of privilege/access
How privilege shows in our life [8:27]
Having access to better educational experience (e.g. attending a private school)
There are systems that are set up to support a few people’s success, not everyone’s (e.g. leadership and operational systems at work)
How not everyone have access to mental care
The haze of exercising empathy for those who don’t have similar access [17:16]
Never forgetting your roots, where you came from
It’s easy to judge other people when we feel detached
Remembering that with access comes a responsibility
Acknowledging that empowering others is part of work—who can you inspire and empower?
Using your own privilege to give others access to what you have that they don’t
Navigating the haze of exercising empathy [26:45]
Learning about how you can contribute to change
Hearing about others’ stories to empathize better
Lessons on access and privileges [30:43]
Don’t tell people what to do; ask them what help they need
What matters to you may not matter for others
There are different levels to access and privilege
Remember your “why” and never stop working towards your healing
