In a world increasingly fractured by division, where "us versus them" thinking dominates public discourse, Lisa shares her upcoming plans for a multi-pronged project that reaches across the culture-war battlefield -- a bold, heart-centered approach to healing our collective wounds. Incorporating today’s most robust science and research on love, UN-OTHERING introduces a new paradigm of activism – one rooted not in anger and division, but in compassionate education aimed at bridging differences and highlighting the science-backed role of love in a society's potential to thrive.

“The flushing of the shadow is painful, but critical to the movement forward. When the shadows become illuminated, we need to choose to lean into the light. We must meet the pain with love, open our hearts even more to discover our divinity,” says Lisa’s guest, healer and spiritual teacher Kristin Kirk. At the time of this episode’s release, many Americans are reeling from a particularly stressful and vitriolic presidential election here in the U.S. Whether their team has just won or not, Lisa and Kristin beseech listeners to recognize that a perfection is unfolding, and by intentionally aligning with our highest nature at this time, we can all powerfully contribute to the energy of the better world we wish to create from here.

America has a big problem. Most Americans feel their problems will be solved if the political party they prefer is the party in charge. But in this delicate conversation between Lisa and her friend Chris Niebauer, Ph,D., they point to the bigger problem of a nation divided. When we engage in “othering,” of any kind, we are training ourselves away from our most natural human capacities for empathy and compassion toward all people. And the tragedy is that you can’t erase empathy from your heart in only that selective way. If you’re training yourself out of that capacity, you risk losing it across the board. Lisa and Chris share the perspective that any kind of “othering” is harmful to all parties – to the party being hated, and equally harmful to the party doing the hating. An inspiring and healing conversation!
