This week, TED Radio Hour explores how we might reframe one of life's most universal experiences: embarrassment. Rather than viewing awkward moments as social failures to avoid at all costs, the episode examines why these uncomfortable situations are often inevitable—and what we might learn by leaning into them instead of away.
