Alrighty folks! Here’s what so many people have been waiting for: 

How to deal with strained, fractured, struggling relationships due to our extremely divided political climate. This was the most requested episode and the most popular question people asked of Ali in the last year. Parents and children, spouses, siblings, neighbors, friends and colleagues - name it - are not immune to the divisive nature of our country’s politics. Marriage and family therapist Bill Doherty gives us some advice on how to deal with people we PASSIONATELY disagree with. As the co-founder of Braver Angels, an organization created to bridge this great divide, he has a couple of questions for us to keep in mind when we want to connect again...or even just to understand.

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)
