Welcome to Life Be Life.ing a podcast by Bethany Heals
When’s the last time you had a conversation with someone who didn’t agree with you and stayed open anyway?
In this episode, Bethany sits down with Sadie Rosen, Head of Operations for The Enemies Project—a documentary series and movement inviting people with opposing beliefs to sit face-to-face and actually listen. They talk about what happens when we stop trying to win and start trying to understand.
Sadie shares what it’s like interviewing participants with extreme or deeply personal views, the emotional toll of holding both sides, and the surprising humanity that emerges when two people stop defending and start connecting.
They talked about what it means to have real conversations again. Not debates, not echo chambers, but connection. They discuss how easy it’s become to cancel, to divide, to other… and what it truly takes to see each other again; across politics, beliefs, and the digital noise that keeps us separate.
They unpack the stories that shape our judgment, how fear creates illusion, and why empathy isn’t weakness, it’s power.
If you’ve ever felt tired of the polarization, the online wars, or the pressure to pick a side, this one’s for you.
