Frientimacy: Finding Our Way to More Fulfilling Friendships

When Politics Divide: Why Is It So Hard to Stay Connected? (Marcia & Kim)


Listen Later

Have you had a relationship in your life damaged by opposing political views? Or maybe you were taken by surprise when you found out a close friend of yours will be voting differently than you in this upcoming election? 

This month, Shasta will be diving deep into tough conversations about building and maintaining relationships in today’s intense political climate. She kicks off the start of this political mini-series by inviting Marcia and Kim to discuss how relationships in their lives have been strained due to differing political views. They talk about how it can be difficult to be empathetic to the other side while also fighting the urge to “rescue” them back to their own side of the spectrum. Tune in to hear them share the challenges of setting boundaries, the hurt of feeling unseen, and their hopes for compromise with their friends and loved ones.
