Political differences are straining friendships, families, and communities. Many people feel caught between wanting to speak their truth and wanting to preserve important Relationships.
In this episode of Boomer Banter, Wendy Green talks with Dr. Philip Wilder, educator and facilitator of Nonviolent Communication, about how we can disagree respectfully without losing connection.
Together they explore:

- How empathy and curiosity can keep conversations constructive
