How to Connect in a Polarized World : The Power Of Paradox

Sarah and Anna Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode Sarah, a Gen X mom, and Anna, a Gen Z daughter—dive into the power of paradox and explore how embracing life’s contradictions can help us grow and connect. Together, we talk about what it means to hold space for opposing truths, why it’s important to seek nuance, and how this mindset can lead to deeper empathy and stronger relationships.

We reflect on how embracing paradox has helped us understand people with different opinions, backgrounds, and experiences. By moving beyond black-and-white thinking, we can create meaningful connections and hold space for complex conversations. From stories about social media polarization and "cancel culture" to lessons learned from Michael J. Fox and gratitude practices, we discuss how to find common ground while celebrating our differences.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about growing through paradox, finding joy in complexity, and bridging the gaps between us.
