Today, I am joined by the amazing Linda Lorelle.

Linda is an Emmy- and Gracie Award-winning journalist, entrepreneur, speaker, moderator, and host of the award-winning podcast Our Voices Matter. As Co-founder of the democracy project, Civil Dialogues, she travels the country creating a safe space for Americans to engage with each other about difficult issues affecting the country.

In this episode, Linda and I explore what it truly means to listen across the divide, and why that might be the most important skill any of us can develop right now.

When you tune in, you'll discover:

• The importance of listening with curiosity rather than judgment to bridge divides

• Why creating safe spaces for difficult conversations isn't just idealistic — it's essential to democracy

• How looking at where we are now through a historical lens is both grounding and hopeful

• Linda's current favorites: Books: If I Ruled the World by Amy Dubois Barnett and How Not To Use AI by Abi Awomosu, Speaker: Maya Angelou, and Podcast: Fresh Air
