On Instagram, many of our followers are concerned about what they should be doing to engage in the major political issues they're confronted with everyday online. They see things they have questions and maybe even concerns about, but they're worried that they don't know enough to do anything, and even then, they don't know what they would even do! In this conversation, Emma Petty Addams, Co-Executive Director of Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG), a non-partisan and nonprofit social welfare organization, joins us to explore these questions.

At the base of everything we do is a desire to help all of us create more powerful human connections despite the differences that could divide us. We've made particular effort in our training and consulting work to help people understand how to use the most humanizing terms possible when we refer to one another. But the history of racial terminology is complicated and nuanced, and we know that many people wonder if they're doing it right or being as sensitive as they could be. We celebrate and honor that desire. In this episode, we take a walk through the history of racial terms to help you better navigate your relationships in the hope that it will help you form deeper human connections in the community circles wherever you live.

In today's socio-political climate, many of us regularly find ourselves in conversations with friends and family members about the state of our world and the many difficult cultural issues we face. Our kids, and especially our teens, are watching and listening. Carefully. And they have questions. As they're developing their own thoughts and opinions, our leadership and continual dialogue with them can help them form safe, healthy, productive viewpoints that will impact their own families and communities for good throughout their lives. Teen parenting expert, Brooke Romney, joins us for this beautiful conversation that's full of ideas about how to engage your kids in the vital conversations they need now more than ever.
