A Braver Way

A podcast about how you – yes YOU – can disagree about politics without losing heart.

Your Guide Across the Divide
Host Mónica Guzmán is joined by guests from across the political spectrum to unearth tools, insights, and messy real life stories that can guide you over the divide in your everyday life. So whether you’re Red, Blue, or something entirely different, “A Braver Way” will help you hear and be heard by people who confound you.

When the country could no longer see straight across the political divide, Mónica set out to find what was blinding us and discovered the most eye-opening tool we’re not using: our own built-in curiosity. Through her work at Braver Angels, in her bestselling book, and now in this podcast, Mónica is on a mission to help people who disagree get curious about each other with each other.
