Raw & Real with Danah & Stacy

S8 Ep 9: “Why Revenge Feels Good… but Destroys You: Real Stories, Real Consequences”


Listen Later

Revenge is one of the most human impulses — and in this episode of Raw and Real, Danah and Stacy dive into the messy, painful, and sometimes darkly hilarious ways people try to get even. From silent treatment to petty sabotage to seven-figure karma, they break down why revenge feels so tempting… and why it almost never delivers the closure we imagine.

The twins unpack two viral stories that shook social media:

• A girlfriend who secretly took a ₱70,000 loan under her cheating boyfriend’s name

• A woman who unexpectedly inherited ₱1 million from the ex-fiancé who betrayed her

Is revenge justice? Immaturity? A survival instinct? Or a slow form of self-destruction?

In this conversation, they discuss:

• Why revenge feels satisfying at first

• How it exposes wounds we haven’t healed
• Why relationships today feel more transactional and disposable
• What “justice” actually looks like in love and commitment
• The difference between reacting out of bitterness vs. responding with wisdom
• How faith, character, and emotional maturity shift the entire conversation

If you’ve ever fantasized about getting even — or wondered if you should — this episode will hit hard.

Revenge is human. Restraint is maturity. Healing is freedom.

Tune in. You’re not alone.
