In this episode, I had the honor of talking to two powerful leaders who love to talk politics - even though they are on opposite sides of many issues.\xa0If you struggle to have compassionate conversations around politics with friends & family who have differing beliefs and belief systems, this conversation will be really eye-opening and helpful.\xa0\nSarah Stewart Holland (from the left) has always loved politics, although her political opinions\nhave changed d\nrastically over the years. She worked in politics and on Capitol Hill before\nmoving back to her hometown of Paducah, KY, where she served on the Paducah\nCity Commission. She is happily married and the mother of three sons. Sarah likes her bourbon\non ice, her romantic dramas with a British accent and her iPhone fully charged.\nBeth Silvers (from the right) owns and operates Checking In with Beth Silvers, a life and\nbusiness coaching practice. She has been recognized as one of Ohio\u2019s Most Powerful and\nInfluential Women by the Ohio Diversity Council, a Human Resources GameChanger by\nWorkforce Magazine, and one of Cincinnati\u2019s Forty Under 40 business leaders. Beth lives in\nUnion with her husband, Chad; daughters Jane (8) and Ellen (3), and miniature schnauzer, Lucy. She loves people, politics, poetry, and watermelon.\nListen in to hear Beth and Sarah share:\n\nThe typically strongest values on the right vs the left\n\nHow your family of origin impacts your politics\n\nThe power of observing vs judging\n\nThe value of getting curious instead of confrontational\n\nThe power of acknowledging and addressing shared concerns and shared values\n\n\nWhy people of privilege need to have the uncomfortable conversations\n\nHow to navigate difficult conversations with grace\n\nWhy it\u2019s important for moms to be politically engaged\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\n Podcast: Pantsuit Politics\n\nGet Sarah and Beth\u2019s Book: I Think You\u2019re Wrong (But I\u2019m Listening): A Guide To Grace Filled Political Conversations\n\n\n Book: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt\n\nInstagram - Pantsuit Politics\n\nPantsuit Politics Twitter\n\nPantsuit Politics Facebook\n\nTwitter - Pantsuit Politics\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\nTalkspace: To match with your perfect therapist for a fraction of the price of traditional therapy, go to Talkspace, Make sure to use the code SHAMELESS to get your first week free and show your support for this show.\n\n\nRothy's: To get free shipping on any order of Rothy\u2019s shoes, as well as free returns, go to Rothy's and use the code SHAMELESS at checkout.\n\n\nInstacart: Get your groceries delivered to your door!
