EP 69: Putting People on Pedestals

Check out ‘A Good Kind of Scary’ podcast on Apple or Spotify for today’s episode or listen using the link below.

Today I chat about some of the harmful impacts of putting people on pedestals and how we can navigate this tendency. I have been becoming more aware recently of my own tendency to put particular people on pedestals and exploring where this emerged from. Here’s a breakdown of some topics covered:

  • Romanticizing partners
  • Glorifying celebrities and politicians
  • Putting high expectations on ourselves
  • Separating who people are from what they do
  • Figuring out what you value in people and in yourself
  • Societal influence of how we view the world
