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,

The people you surround yourself with have a profound impact on how you see yourself, the choices you make, and the life you create. In this episode of Teach People How to Treat You, we explore why choosing your inner circle is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.

We'll talk about the qualities to look for in healthy relationships, the warning signs that someone may be draining your energy, and why it's okay to outgrow friendships or relationships that no longer support your well-being. You'll learn how your standards, boundaries, and self-worth influence the people you allow into your life—and how the right people will respect them.

Whether you're building new relationships, reassessing old ones, or simply wanting to create a more positive and supportive circle, this episode will encourage you to choose people who celebrate your growth, respect your boundaries, and bring out the best in you.

Because when you pick your people wisely, you're also choosing the life you want to live.
