This week, we’re going to re-share the most personally vulnerable interview Mónica’s recorded for this podcast. As the election creeps closer and closer, we’re hearing daily from listeners who struggle to talk politics with family on the other side. In this special episode first aired in season 1, Mónica — a liberal — joins the two people she’s argued with most — her conservative parents — for a candid conversation about one family’s struggles with a political divide that cut right through their own home. Looking back on the biggest disagreements that tested their relationships, like Moni’s pro-choice stance on abortion and her parents’ votes for Donald Trump, they open up about the strategies that keep them talking.

I really appreciate how well Braver Angels is bringing together folks with different backgrounds who decide to work together for the betterment of our society. This is working well, and is an idea that has promise for a positive future in our country. Ultimately, this idea can become a world-wide endeavor where folks can see positive elements in the character of others that can make definite improvements for everyone in our world.
Thanks John, we needed your perspective this week, in particular. I hope more will share it as I did.
