In the finale of the Idol Series, we turn the mirror inward. What happens when the last idol left standing is...ourselves? This episode confronts the seductive pull of hyper-individualism, the myth of self-made salvation, and the spiritual exhaustion of always being our own answer. We explore how the performance of autonomy can become its own trap—where every boundary, every goal, every ritual is curated in service of an image we’re terrified to fall short of. With cultural commentary, research-backed insights, and raw personal reflection, we ask: when self-worship replaces self-worth, who are we really serving?SourcesBrown, Brené.
