Let’s be honest—some people didn’t burn out. They were boxed out.
Overlooked. Micromanaged. Pushed aside for the “favorites.”

And what’s worse? We blamed the person, not the system.

This week on Favorably Delusional, I’m calling out what no one wants to admit:
It wasn’t your lack of talent—it was the culture protecting the wrong people.

From faith to business to entertainment, the favoritism, cliques, and unseen bias aren’t just unfair—they’re strategic sabotage.

The setup wasn’t just emotional, it was structural. And it’s still happening.

This episode is for the overlooked. The misjudged. The ones who refused to play the game.Now we expose it—and then we build something better.
