Navigating Political Polarization: How to Connect Through Curious Conversations with Mónica Guzmán
There are a few things we likely can all agree on: (1) we are living in a very polarizing time, (2) it’s hurting us, and (3) the way that we talk about politics is broken, given that we are all living in different information orbits. In this episode, Dr. Alexandra sits down with Mónica Guzmán who offers us some hope for the relationships in our lives that have suffered as a result of this polarization. She also offers us the perspective we need to help us stay grounded, even as the structures all around us fiercely demand our attention and invite our reactivity.
The goal is not necessarily to seek to change each other’s view on the issues but to change our view on each other. And to see that “engagement is not endorsement”, as we work to enter into curious dialogue with the people in our lives and to perhaps notice the ways that we are not as divided as we believe we are.
You’ll come away with this conversation with:
Strategies on how to approach the conversations with the people in your life that have historically gone sideways due to ideological misalignments
Insights on maintaining curiosity and connection in the face of division
Tips for navigating the online dating landscape without compromising your values or limiting yourself
