In this episode, Judy and her friend Melanie dive into dialogue around what is probably the most emotionally charged social issue facing Americans today. Don’t worry it’s not going to be ugly because their goal is not to win a debate or change the other person. It turns out there are other reasons to have a conversation like this!
Since both women are committed to authenticity and respect they offer you the opportunity to hear a different kind of conversation. There will definitely be thoughts expressed with emotion and there will be moments when something emotional will be left unspoken.
The invitation is to listen with a heart that is open not to the issue itself, but to the people who stand on the opposite side of it – not to changing your mind about the issue but to the people on the other side of it.
The warning is that if you listen with an open heart you might gain insights you would prefer not to have.
The hope is that you will be a more whole person equipped and eager to dive into difficult conversations around topics you simply didn’t think you could.
