On today's episode, Philippa discusses her Blueberries and Cherries initiative that commenced following the 2016 Presidential election. This entailed Philippa inviting Trump voters to her residence for a home cooked meal and an opportunity to engage in civil discourse. At times, Philippa (a progressive) had stark disagreements with her guests but her experience is one of encouragement and progress. Shortly after, we look at the extreme politicization of our society and how one's identity has morphed into one's political beliefs. To close, we examine some of the root causes behind the current state of affairs in America and what can change. I hope you enjoy!
