In each episode we unpack what’s making us feel so polarized — because we’re actually not as divided as we think we are. Together, we’ll broaden our minds, open our hearts, and strengthen connections in a politically charged election season and beyond. Tania Israel is a psychologist and expert in dealing with political division with loads of fascinating data and practical tips to help you navigate our (seemingly) polarized world. Pema Rocker is a creative coach and author who brings curiosity, heart and storytelling into her authentic quest to understand our political climate and herself.
