Making Someone Wrong Won't Make You Right
In this episode, Robin and Nina explore one of the most common — and costly — habits in human relationships: making someone else wrong.
They discuss: — How labels like "narcissist" and "psychopath" become shortcuts that shut down empathy — The psychological payoffs of demonizing someone you love — Nina's story of staying curious and connected with a politically passionate family member — Robin's personal experience of being demonized — and what it feels like to have the door shut on you — Self-regulation and why it's the foundation of every good conversation — Questions to ask yourself when you notice the pattern
What conversation is worth your courage?
