In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we’re breaking down the truth about judgment—why it’s not the problem, but ignoring your instincts is. Society tells you that being judgmental is wrong, that you should always give the benefit of the doubt, and that compassion should override discernment. But what happens when that mindset keeps you stuck, excusing harmful behaviors, and doubting yourself?

We’ve been conditioned to believe that judging others makes us cruel—but judgment is a survival tool. It helps you recognize red flags, set boundaries, and protect yourself. And yet, some people and even society weaponize the fear of judgment against you: “You’re too harsh,” “You’re not perfect either,” “Everyone deserves a second chance.” But let’s be real—some behaviors should be judged.

Not all judgment is toxic, but when does it cross the line? When does it stop being about self-preservation and start becoming a weapon? At what point does holding people accountable turn into a cycle of resentment and revenge? In this episode, we’re reclaiming judgment as a necessary tool while breaking down how to use it wisely.
