What happens when you speak out for justice and its costs you everything?

In this raw and intimate conversation, Michelle MiJung Kim (author of The Wake Up and host of I Feel That Way Too) joins us to explore the aftermath of speaking up for Palestine in a world that often punishes courage.

We explore:

• Losing clients and credibility after speaking up for Palestine
• Grieving the collapse of a once-successful career and public identity
• Shame, silence, and the tension between self-love and social impact
• Navigating burnout, belonging, and friendship ruptures in justice spaces
• Rebuilding worthiness outside of productivity and applause

Whether you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or unsure how to show up, you’re not alone. This conversation is for you.

A new dad joked that parenting has been “pretty easy,” and the comedian clapped back—calling him a scumbag for leaving the mom at home. The internet celebrated it as a powerful “callout.”

But was it really accountability?

In this episode of Restorative Justice Breakdown, I sit down with Kori (the dad and owner of https://hiveclimbing.com/winnipeg/ in the viral clip) and Kerri (his wife, and a feminist reproductive health professional) to explore:

• What actually happened at the comedy show (beyond the clip)
• The pressures dads face to either perform or disappear
• The real (invisible) labor of early parenting and recovery
• Why people projected rage onto Corey and called it “justice”
• How we confuse venting with accountability, and symbolism with real people

Kerri shares her experience as a new mom, what their parenting dynamic actually looks like, and how context, privilege, and nuance matter when we talk about partnership and caregiving. Kori opens up about how it felt to be publicly roasted and misrepresented online, despite being an engaged and supportive father.

This isn’t about canceling the comedian. It’s about examining how we project our pain, turn strangers into symbols, and mistake viral content for justice.
