Hate is an expensive emotion—and most of the time, we’re the ones paying the price.

In this episode, Nadine and Donna talk about what happens when we hold onto anger, resentment and hatred toward people who have hurt, disappointed or betrayed us. The truth is, they may not even know—or care—that we’re carrying all of that emotional weight.

So why give someone that much power over your peace?

Instead of spending our energy replaying what happened, holding grudges or wishing someone would get what they deserve, what if we decided that our energy was simply too valuable?

This isn’t about pretending you weren’t hurt or excusing someone’s behaviour. It’s about choosing not to let another person occupy valuable real estate in your mind.

Because life is too short, peace feels too good—and honestly, hate is just too expensive. I’d rather not.

We all make snap judgments—often without realizing it. In this episode of Teach People How To Treat You, we explore how our assumptions about others can affect our relationships, our communication, and even our own peace of mind.

Everyone has a story we can't see. That impatient person in line, the friend who seems distant, the coworker who appears unfriendly—they may be carrying burdens we know nothing about. When we choose curiosity over criticism and compassion over judgment, we create stronger connections and a kinder world.

Join us as we discuss why it's so easy to judge, how those judgments can hold us back, and practical ways to approach others with greater understanding and grace. You may discover that letting go of judgment doesn't just change how you treat others—it transforms how you experience life.

Thank you for listening,
