It seems every few months (or even every few weeks) someone is thrust into the limelight because of something they said or did that society took the wrong way. Something that, yes, could have been said or done differently in retrospect.

What often happens though is a disproportionate response of vitriol. For weeks on end, this person is put "on blast" on the news and on social media.

But really, what's actually going on is people are not being tolerant of mistakes. Mistakes are part of the human condition--we all make them. And yet, when we know what might happen if a mistake comes to light, we end up being fearful.

We become fearful... of being human.

Join me in this two-part series where we talk about what it means to  Embrace Your Humanity, as we identify key examples where this isn't being done.
