Ep 168 Q&A Session: How to stay Connected with Someone I Disagree With?

Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this Q&A episode, a listener writes, “My friend uses pronouns that I don’t agree with and I’m not sure what to do. Is it necessary to keep the friendship honest?”

We discuss:

1. Challenging ourselves to be brutally honest with ourselves first, and how we get clear about what’s underneath our intentions for wanting to speak up.
2. Owning the possibility that we may feel like there’s a right and wrong way for others to be, and that we may have a subconscious desire to express to a friend that they’re wrong.
3. The importance of checking in with ourselves about how we often begin to show up in a similar energetic to the thing that we are holding with contempt in our space of certainty that others are wrong in their perspectives.

And so much more!
