What do you do when you discover that a friend or loved one sees something in a polar opposite way to how you're seeing it?  

Are you able to stay in a place of grounded, open curiosity, or do you find yourself getting worked up and activated, wanting to change their minds? 

It can be very challenging to connect with loved ones when our belief systems don't match, or when our worldviews are colliding. 

On this week's podcast, we tackle the hard work of connecting - with friends, with family - around hot button issues.

We discuss:

• 1:37  How can I connect with my parents who don't support my choices?
• 13:55  My best friend and I clash over Palestine
• 33:23  An NVC celebration regarding Human 101
• 39:27  Moving past the past

For ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection. 

Twice a month, I host live calls where members bring real relationship dilemmas. We slow things down and I'll help you see what's actually happening and how to respond with more integrity, strength and care.

You will find a safe space for live discussions and a supportive community of like-minded, open-hearted humans.
