Breaking Down Self-Censorship: Insights from Bridget Phetasy and Jeren Montgomery

Maybe you could argue that I should be self-censoring, that I should not talk about this stuff, but I've weighed that right now, at this point in my life, and I'm willing to accept whatever trade-offs that comes with.
Ever wondered how much you hold back in conversations because of fear or social pressure? In this episode of 'Factory Settings', Bridget Phetasy and Jeren Montgomery tackle the often unspoken issue of self-censorship. They dig into what it means to censor oneself in today's world and how social status can amplify these tendencies. Bridget and Jeren share their own experiences, from second-guessing tweets to navigating workplace dynamics.
They also discuss the balancing act between maintaining good boundaries and expressing oneself freely. Bridget, a firm believer in comedy as a bastion of free speech, reveals her internal debates about whether to make certain jokes online. Meanwhile, Jeren, an associate marriage and family therapist, reflects on the professional risks of speaking his mind. The duo also touches on the madness of higher education institutions and the importance of diverse viewpoints.
Listeners are prompted to reflect on their own habits: How often do you find yourself biting your tongue? What are the consequences of staying silent? With a mix of humor and candidness, Bridget and Jeren encourage us to reconsider the cost of self-censorship in our lives. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that might just inspire you to speak up more often.
