Episode #213: When Labels Break Us (and How We Mend)
In this personal episode, Joel and Sina unpack the power of labels we give each other (and ourselves), owning moments when they labeled people the wrong way and how empathy changed the outcome.
Joel shares a moving story about being censored and why, after a veteran friend called him out, he refuses to use a certain word for anyone ever again.
Sina opens up about a surprising, human conversation with a top figure in the pharmaceutical-crop world that opened her mind. It only happened because she stayed curious and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
No preaching, no perfection; just real missteps, lessons, and small wins that nudge us toward compassion.
It’s a candid call to trade assumptions for questions, soften hard edges, and deepen connection with ourselves, our friends, and our communities.
We want to hear from you!
