QUESTIONS I ASK MICHELLE IN THE EPISODE:

Can you start off by telling us a bit about your background? (Specifically, how did you become a lawyer-turned-peacemaker?)
For the past 10 years, you've trained thousands of murderers serving life sentences to be peacemakers. I'm fascinated by this! Tell us about the Prison of Peace Project.
The subtitle of your book De-escalate is "How To Calm An Angry Person In 90 Seconds Or Less." Do tell!
What do you mean when you say, "Listen others into existence."
How can parents employ your de-escalation tactics with their kids? (Can you share a specific example?)
How can we use your de-escalation tactics with our spouses? (Can you share a specific example?)
How can people put your de-escalation tactics into practice at work? (Can you share a specific example?)
What is emotional invalidation, and why is it so problematic?
Even if you weren't raised to be an empathic person, can you learn this skill later in life? If so, how?
