This episode explores why disagreement feels so much heavier right now - and why so many conflicts aren’t actually about beliefs, but about how people process information, emotion, and threat.
Using the current news cycle as a stress test, I explain how people with shared values can react in completely different ways without one of them being apathetic or wrong and why that confusion is exhausting and damaging to relationships.
We look at common processing and communication styles, how they get misread as indifference or overreaction, and why cognitive dissonance and moral load are hitting women especially hard right now. I also offer grounded, practical guidance for staying in relationship without silencing yourself and for showing up without turning away.
The takeaway is simple: difference isn’t danger. Before you decide what someone’s reaction means, get curious about how they process.
