Welcome to the Who Has Time For This? Podcast! In our first episode, Caitlin and Katie take on the lost art of nuance. From the news cycle to political debates to heated social media discourse, we’re losing the ability to sit and think in the gray areas. Why is everything so black and white these days – and what toll is this dynamic taking on our conversations (and our sanity)? The two best friends unpack the rise of outrage bait, the fall of thoughtful dialogue, and share some practical ways to bring complexity, compassion, and clarity back to how we consume and communicate information.
