This week on It’s OK that You’re Not OK:
Cruelty on Steroids: how we talk to each other, with Jameela Jamil
We fight hard for the things we believe in. But HOW we fight for those things causes more damage than we realize.
Jameela Jamil is a lightning rod for criticism, but it’s not just how people treat her that she’s concerned about.
“The most punk thing I can do is move towards love and unity.” – Jameela Jamil
In this episode we cover:
- Our odd habit of dehumanizing each other in the name of “progress”
- Do we believe, fundamentally, that human beings are allowed to change and grow?
- What kids learn when we attack each other on social media (or in the news)
- Why vengeance – aka: cancel culture – isn’t going to help us get the world we want
- Why you should try to make more mistakes
