In a world that feels increasingly divided, where empathy and true understanding seems in short supply, I'm inviting you into a raw conversation about what it really takes to question your beliefs, and why it’s so difficult to change even in the face of new information. For twenty years, I've held onto a story I was afraid to tell – one about belief, group think, manipulation, and the process of being open to seeing another perspective, ultimately leading to me changing my mind in big ways. In today's episode, I'm finally sharing it, because I believe it matters now more than ever. If you've ever found yourself questioning your belief or stance on a topic, feeling trapped between your intuition and what others expect of you, or struggling to understand those who think differently than you do – this episode is for you. As we navigate the intense political division and binary thinking on just about every topic, I believe our ability to rethink, unlearn, and truly understand each other isn't just helpful – it's crucial for our collective future.
