18. Take A Seat, Not A Stance

What if instead of taking a stance against someone, you took a seat across from them? In this episode, we explore what gets in the way of real connection—fear, labeling, and our obsession with “agree or disagree”—and how curiosity can restore kindness and empathy. From paradox and humility to soul food and soul-level conversations, we’re asking: what would a truly connected world look like, and how do we start building it one conversation at a time?Timestamps00:00 – Imagine a Connected World07:00 – The Prism & Seeing From a New Angle09:42 – Mark Nepo on Paradox16:00 – Fear Unplugs Curiosity23:37 – The Cost of Labeling38:32 – Take a Seat Across From ThemShow Music: Just Like Me by, ThruLineThe Morning Share Podcast is edited and produced by Angela Boeckman and Deanna West.SocialsWebsite: themorningshare.comInstagram: @themorningsharepodSubstack: themorningshare.substack.comResources Mentionedhttps://www.enemiesproject.org/Mark Nepo, Seven Thousand Ways to ListenDavid Dark, The Sacredness of Questioning Everything
