How Mindfulness Can Help Us Talk About the Things That Divide Us

Barry and Stephanie talk about the big-p: politics of governments. And the small-p: politics of everyday life. We move in and out of the zones, sometimes unaware of the politics and our own bias that’s operating within the spaces. How does politics fit into mindfulness? How do they fit into Mindful magazine?  Barry and Stephanie break down these ideas and show the ways mindfulness can help us to utilize compassion and awareness to address bias, privilege, racism, and other political issues, both big and small.  They also begin their discussion of mouthing off mindfully because let's face it, it’s not realistic to remain neutral in all of life’s arenas.  Show notes: This episode contains strong language.
