Unity In a Polarized Community: Finding Humanity Through Empathy with Rebecca Sanin
In this powerful and timely episode, I sit down with Suffolk County Legislator Rebecca Sanin to discuss the critical importance of the upcoming local elections and the often-overlooked role local government plays in shaping our daily lives. But the conversation goes much deeper than politics—we explore the current political climate and the growing divide across the country.
Rebecca brings thoughtful insights into what’s fueling this polarization, from cognitive dissonance and fear to the breakdown of meaningful communication. Together, we unpack how individual citizens can take small but impactful steps toward bridging the divide, fostering unity, and building a more harmonious society.
We dive into the tough questions: How do we have unifying conversations in such a tense environment? What does it take to truly listen to — and understand — those we may not agree with? And how can we find common ground without compromising our values?
Whether you're politically active or just trying to make sense of the world around you, this episode offers a refreshing, hopeful, and grounded perspective on how we move forward — together.
