    “Real change happens together. By seeing, feeling, and then choosing we learn to slow things down and select paths that are aligned with our higher values and truths”. This week we are joined by Ahmed Darwish to discuss how to get to that path. By practicing authentic empathy and focusing on the individual we can create the world we want to live in, not just for Israelis and Palestinians but for the rest of the world.

    We’re Still Friends

    After 7 extremely difficult months during which we had many intentional conversations about what is happening in Israel and Gaza, we have decided to finally record an episode about how we have maintained - perhaps even strengthened - our friendship during this time. We engage in an honest conversation about our experiences since October 7th and our differing perspectives while focusing on the importance of empathy, understanding, and mutual respect. This open dialogue and genuine connection has allowed us to preserve a strong relationship, and we believe it can have the same healing impact for others.

    Rethinking the Abortion Debate

    This week we start off the episode by talking about religion and science and how they do not have to be mutually exclusive. We touch on mentions or lack of mentions about abortion in various religious texts. And lastly, we challenge the current framing of the abortion debate as a religious issue and suggest that we discuss it as an issue of education and healthcare for all.
