We discuss what (you think) the state of your house says about you to visitors, we debrief Abby's process of working through being triggered by a Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221270460445886 by Jessica Manuszak, founder of I Love You The Monsters), and riff on how to build bridges with people whose opinions are polar opposites from yours, without compromising your ideals or condoning their behaviors (spoiler alert: it's digging deep enough to see yourself in them, and extending an olive branch to form a meaningful human connection, if one can be made with healthy boundaries and mutual respect).
