LISTEN ON YOUR FAVE PLATFORM: APPLE | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

Let’s be honest. In our digital age, it has become increasingly common to see internet blood baths where everyone has an opinion on every topic and disagreements quickly lead to arguments.

We often feel confident in our opinion and believe it’s our job to persuade everyone else that we’re correct.

But how can we begin to think critically when we’re being blasted by endless information with endless biases and agendas?

And how do we go from being defensive and ready to persuade to having open and respectful conversations that explore each other’s ideas?

In this episode of the SHE podcast, I talk with the founder of the Brave Writer program, author Julie Bogart, about how we can be critical thinkers in a digital age.
